san jose has all the problems of any large city and for it´s size i would say it is realatively safe, especially in the center.
However, in my opinion there is nothing special there that you couldn´t get in any other big city in the world, so it is completely worthless to visit. Unless you have family or friends there, there are a million other more interesting places to visit in C.R. |

San Jose is worth a couple of days, but I would rather go to Monteverde for 3 days then Arenal Volcano for 2 days, riding horse back between the two. Or scuba diving a Cahuita and of course Birding for the Resplendent Quetzal and the Three Wattled Bellbird and 800 other birds they have there. |

It is worth a day. Crime, apart from pick-pocketing is not a serious problem during the daytime and you can use cabs at night (hotels and restaurants can help you there). |

yes, it is still worth visiting but yeah there is some crime
problem there....plan on getting pick pocketted, mugged in
broad daylight...you know the stuff that makes your vacation
a real delight...you are still a gringo...now that your a us
warmonger(iraq) you might try to explain to the locals that
dont drive cars...or own them..why...
seriously, yeah get a cheap hotel in the centro and enjoy. |

Yes, it is good,
but there are many better places in Costa Rica. |

I was there last year as part of a big corporate trip. If you can find a way to travel with others....tour buses, local guides, etc., I would think you could minimize the personal risk. I agree with the last responder that there are better place to visit in Costa Rica, namely the Los Suenos area southwest of San Jose down on the Pacific coast.
