Shopping in San Jose

Costa Rica is known for its quality coffee. Buy it from local markets and grocers because the quality is better than what is found in the tourist shops. If you will take coffee home buy the whole beans: They last longer than ground coffee. For lovingly handmade arts and crafts check out the side-streets near Parque Marazan. Buy nifty souvenirs at Calle Nacionale de Artesania y Pintura in San Jose. Make sure to stop into the numerous shops and stands throughout the city to find unique buys, often at low prices.
