San José and related destinations

Beneath volcanic peaks, San José's National Theatre stands as a gilded testament to coffee wealth, hosting performances in surroundings rivalling European opera houses. The Gold Museum displays pre-Columbian treasures glittering mysteriously underground. Central Market's labyrinthine aisles offer everything from medicinal herbs to fresh tortillas, where locals debate politics over tiny cups of world-class coffee. The Jade Museum houses the Americas' largest collection of the precious stone, while the National Museum occupies a former military fortress with civil war bullet holes. Plaza de la Cultura pulses with street performers and chess players, perfect for people-watching before exploring the nearby Spirogyra Butterfly Garden.

Costa Rica Guesthouse

Costa Rica Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed in the women’s-only Dormitory A and had a wonderful experience overall. My dorm mates were all incredibly kind, and I even made a lovely new friend during my stay. It was such a unique experience meeting people from different parts of the world, and I'm so glad this was my first hostel experience. One area that could be improved is the check-in process. I arrived around 9:30 p.m., but there was no one at the front desk. One of the staff members told me someone would be with me shortly, but after waiting about 10 minutes, no one came. That staff member then stepped in to help me check in. The process took another 20 minutes, and without any guidance, it was a bit stressful trying to figure out where to go late at night. Aside from that, I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this hostel."
