Not as filthy as others I've seen but nowhere near the cleanest either. Lot's of pollution in a tiny city with little narrow streets. At the same time it's not the most exotic Central American city either, there's fun stuff to do but nothing exceptional. Although I'd also say it's probably safer than a lot of other cities in the region. If you go, and I'm sure this is everyones intention, but make sure you get out into the country and coasts they're much nicer.   (4 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)

I lived here for a couple of months, and while the people are very very nice, and the culture is cool - I would escape for either coast every chance I got. Best thing about San Jose is that you can get on a bus for a couple of bucks to anywhere in this magnificent country.   (1 people found this comment helpful, 0 did not)
