What to expect

Explore San Jose by night, complete with cultural icons, and a tasty dinner with beverage pairings on this guided tour. Discover the nightlife in San Jose, starting with Morazán Park, where you'll learn about Costa Rican history. From there, your appreciation for San Jose’s historical architecture continues, with a walk by the Metallic Building and then to Spain Park for a fantastic view of the Yellow House (now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

On the way, you'll stop at Stiefel Pub in Barrio Otoya to enjoy a local beer. Continue exploring historic landmarks and points of interest, then head to Barrio Escalante, one of the oldest residential areas in San Jose. The "barrio" as locals call it, was first a coffee farm, but by the 1950s it became the favorite neighborhood for the economic and political elites of the time. Nowadays, Barrio Escalante has reinvented itself and is home to many restaurants and a favorite meeting spot for locals and visitors alike.

The evening ends with a contemporary traditional meal at a very locally popular hip restaurant, where you can enjoy a sampler of traditional Costa Rican pub fare. Between your tasty dinner, and wine or beer, you’ll be ending the evening feeling every bit, how the San Jose locals do. Your local guide will be happy to provide suggestions on where to head next, but if not, they can assist you with getting a taxi back to your accommodation.
