Is it safe to walk around downtown San José, Costa Rica?

During the Day: Generally safe. The main pedestrian artery, Avenida Central, is busy and well-policed. You can comfortably walk between major landmarks like the National Theater and the Gold Museum. At Night: Exercise caution. It is generally recommended to avoid walking downtown alone after 6:00 PM. Streets become quiet, and the risk of opportunistic crime increases. Safety Tip: Petty theft (pickpocketing) is the most common issue. Keep valuables out of sight, carry your bag in front of you in crowded markets, and use official red taxis or Uber for transit after dark.

What is the best month to visit San Jose, Costa Rica?

December. This "sweet spot" offers the best of both worlds: the rains have just ended, leaving the mountains emerald green, but the dry, breezy weather has officially begun. The city is also festive with holiday lights and parades.
