Workation in San Jose: the essentials
Costa Rica's capital lies in the Central Valley, ringed by mountains and volcanoes, and more than 2 million people live in the metropolitan area that joins it to Alajuela, Heredia and Cartago. San José, founded in 1736, is about government, business and bus connections more than beauty, but the Teatro Nacional, the Gold Museum and the National Museum are worth your time, and Barrio Escalante has the restaurants. Coworking spaces exist across the city, and many foreigners prefer the western suburbs of Escazú and Santa Ana. Juan Santamaría airport is about 20 km away. Rush-hour traffic is slow, and the centre is noisy and worn.
