San José Travel Guide: 524 reviews and 863 photos
A lot of people are down about San Jose, but I spent close to five full weeks there (weekends excluded) learning Spanish and getting to love the city. As time goes on, I will try to convince everyone to love it too!
- Pros:Buses that go everywhere...cheaply! New Restaurants and music places open all the time
- Cons:If you're looking for "pretty" and "glamour" it's not for you
- In a nutshell:Spend a few days...then get out to the Nature!

I love it and would like to know if you have any information about past performances. My Mom told me she used to play the piano there and I would like to find some information on that if possible. Hope you can help me. Thanks, Mae
Hey I would love to know more about the Rahab House and help out if possible.
I severely critize the goverment for allowing prostitution in a poor country where selling your body may be a viable way of living rather than education, instruction and pride.
I like visiting museums, won't miss the Jade and National Museum next time!
The Jade museum looks interesting to visit. Thanks for the info.
Nice page!
