As Seen In:
San Jose is a safe city visited by millions of foreign tourists every year. The Costa Rican government also provides additional security and policing in major tourist areas to ensure the safety of foreign guests.
Despite these efforts, petty crime remains a threat and this can be mitigated by sensible safety precautions like not flashing expensive items and drinking in moderation. For an up to date assessment check out the latest US State Department Travel Advisory
