About San José
San José, nestled in Costa Rica’s Central Valley, is the country’s vibrant capital and primary hub for commerce, culture, and travel. Often serving as a gateway to Costa Rica’s natural wonders, San José also offers private jet travellers an array of cultural experiences, historic sites, and easy access to nearby national parks and volcanic regions.

One of San José’s most prominent landmarks is the National Theatre of Costa Rica (Teatro Nacional). This elegant 19th-century building in downtown San José is renowned for its neoclassical architecture and opulent interior, making it one of the country’s most important cultural sites. Visitors can enjoy guided tours or attend performances ranging from classical music concerts to ballets, providing a glimpse into Costa Rica’s artistic heritage.

San José is also home to several excellent museums that showcase Costa Rica’s history and culture. The Pre-Columbian Gold Museum features a fascinating collection of gold artifacts crafted by indigenous civilizations before European contact, while the Jade Museum houses the world’s largest collection of pre-Columbian jade artifacts. Both museums offer private jet visitors an immersive look at Costa Rica’s ancient craftsmanship and trade.

For a taste of local life, the Mercado Central is a bustling market where visitors can shop for fresh produce, traditional handicrafts, and Costa Rican foods. Popular dishes include gallo pinto (rice and beans), casado (a traditional plate with rice, beans, plantains, and meat), and chorreadas (corn pancakes), providing a true taste of Costa Rican cuisine.

San José’s central location also makes it an ideal base for exploring the surrounding natural beauty. Just an hour’s drive from the city, Poás Volcano National Park allows visitors to hike to the edge of an active volcanic crater for stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. La Paz Waterfall Gardens, another nearby attraction, offers a series of breathtaking waterfalls, scenic walking trails, and a wildlife sanctuary, making it a perfect day trip for private jet travellers.
