What are the main cities to live in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is a country where everyone can choose the ideal place to live. Despite the fact that this is a very small country, here you can live in the large capital of the country San Jose and at the same time always feel in the thick of things; choose a place that is quieter and more remote from the bustle of the city, for example, somewhere in the mountains; or live by the ocean, which is the place of many people.

As already mentioned, San Jose occupies a leading position in terms of population. The main airport of the country, the main universities of the country, large medical institutions, large shopping centers and more are also located here.

The second-largest city after the capital is the city of Limon. Lemon is a commercial port and beautiful resort town located on the warm Caribbean coast, surrounded by pristine rainforest. However, the culture, traditions and mentality of the locals are somewhat different from the rest of the country. Most of the locals are natives of Jamaica, due to which the reggae culture is widespread here.

Alajuela is the third-largest city in Costa Rica after San Jose and Limon. The city is located in the north-central part of the country on a hill above the sea and has a population of 10,000. The airport is located here, so the city receives hundreds of tourists every day.

Another major city is the city of Cartago. It is one of the oldest and most important cities in Costa Rica. The city has two nicknames – “Old Capital”, a reference to the era when Cartago was the capital of Costa Rica, and “The City of Dense Mists”, thanks to the fogs that form in the city valley during most of the year. In addition, Cartago is recognized as one of the most beautiful cities in the country, which captivates with its unique architecture, unique landscapes and simply smiles of hospitable citizens.

The city of Liberia is also considered one of the largest mountains in Costa Rica. It is located northwest of the Central American state of Costa Rica, the capital of the province of Guanacaste. Perhaps more than any other Costa Rican city, Liberia has preserved its Spanish culture, as evidenced not least by the daily siesta, which is still cultivated by its inhabitants.

Hello! I'm Darina Logvinova. My life is full of interesting events. And I want to share this with you. My passion is to travel. Perhaps there is nothing more surprising and impressive than discovering new countries, new cultures, cities, uniquely beautiful places. Travel is life. This is what always gives strength, energy, and desire to go forward. It's so hard to wake up early for work, but it's so easy - to the airport or to the train =)
I am also a fan of psychology. I believe that it is impossible to have a harmonious relationship with yourself and with the people around you, without understanding anything about our inner world. Many world-famous authors set out their thoughts in books, they are very smart and talented people who share their knowledge and experience. There is nothing easier than buying a book and learning something new from the geniuses of psychology. Our feelings and emotions are very multifaceted. We all perceive the world in different ways and we need to be able to respect and understand this. Everything that we wish will certainly come true, you need to be able to dream about it correctly. The universe does not limit anyone. It is full of supplies for each of us. Psychology is a very important science for humanity. The more the world develops, the more people understand this. The more we are tolerant to ourselves and to all people, the more good there will be in our lives and in the whole world. Development is the driving force behind humanity. We simply cannot afford to stand still, otherwise, our life loses all meaning. Every day, discovering something new for ourselves, we move forward towards our goals.
