Live and learn in Costa Rica's capital city when you choose to develop and perfect your language skills with Spanish courses in San José. Known as "Chepe" to Ticos, San José has blossomed into the most cosmopolitan capital city in Central America. The city might be packed with office towers, malls and chain restaurants, but it is so much more than a stopover on the way to the "real" Costa Rica. Begin your San José experience by strolling through the Plaza de la Cultura, the central square that acts as the heart of the city's eight-block pedestrian-only shopping zone. From there, you might like to check out the stunning display of indigenous gold art on display at the Gold Museum, or marvel at the neoclassic architecture inside the Metropolitan Church. The National Museum is also a great place to get acquainted with Costa Rica's rich historical tradition. Students at a Spanish school in San José have several options when it comes to relaxing and unwinding after a long day of studying. El Pueblo, San José's nightlife complex that has been made to look like an old Spanish village, features over 50 bars, restaurants and shops. The gorgeous natural scenery that surrounds San José is also perfect for hiking and camping excursions.
