Practical information : Going out Costa Rica
Timetable
Costa Rica has a very lively nightlife: generally from Thursday to Monday bars, clubs and discos open their doors and welcome a crowd of night owls motivated to party. However, the country is not as festive as some of its neighbors and some places close early (around 2am). In San José, the capital, and on the beaches of the coast, the potential for nightlife is more numerous than in the interior.
Budget & Tips
In order to access the nightclubs, women will be able to take advantage of advantageous rates or even free.
Night transport
There are no night buses in Costa Rica. In San José and the larger cities, the best way to get around is by cab. On the Pacific and South Caribbean coasts, tuk-tuk (motorized tricycles), known locally as toritos , have become widespread in certain localities (you'll find plenty of them in the Nosara and Puerto Viejo areas), and also operate in the evenings.
Tourist traps
Be careful when returning to the streets of the capital at night: robberies are committed by organized gangs, either by snatching or pickpocketing. As a general rule, don't walk alone at night, in the street, in public parks, in isolated areas or on beaches. In touristy coastal towns and villages, caution is also advised (avoid evening strolls on the beach, passing through isolated streets, etc.).
