Our Opinion
With its cultural institutions, gothic cathedral and abundant cafes, restaurants and markets - not to mention its proximity to San José - Coronado offers a lively cultural scene just waiting to be discovered. Buses conveniently run to Costa Rica's capital city from Coronado every 20-30 minutes. Coronado is also a very safe, green, clean and friendly city, making it a very comfortable place for anyone to stay, study and explore alone.
