In reply to heather. Thank you, Heather! Your remark is so true. I was listening to a group of tourists discussing San Jose the other day. A solo female traveller had asked about it and a group of tourists all chimed in to say how dangerous it was and how women should never go out on their own in San Jose, and that there was nothing to see anyway - it was better just to stay in the hotel room. I was like :/ not true.

good job capturing the real spirit of the city beyond the tourist fear.

In reply to Katie Featherstone. Thanks, Katie! Yes, I completely agree about that - and also spend more time in cafes and coffee shops when you come across a good one! Street art can really make all the difference. Thank you for commenting!

Great photos! Often the best way to explore an otherwise scummy city seems to be to look for the hidden culture- street art, music, open-air performers. I had a similar experience in Bogota apart from the weather was bad too there- not that inspiring as a city, but beautiful street-art. Thank-you for sharing! I’m glad you found a positive side to San Jose.

I’ve just recently found cheap tickets from NYC to San Jose (around $350 roundtrip)! And now I’m reading THIS! Thanks for giving me a powerful reason to visit asap :)
