Teatro Popular Melico Salazar

Across the street from the cathedral, this building makes a great photo op from the gazebo in the square across the street

Went for a show, lots of people to help,get you in and out. They renovated the sound was really good. My wife loved it. Go early, parking is a nightmare, if it's an even show you can park on the street. Pay the price or your car will be keyed after. Closes parking lot is about 2 blocks and it is small.

Attended the Filarmonica of Costa Rica concert interpreting Iron Maiden songs and was not disappointed. We had seats in row H and they were great. I don't think there is a bad seat in the place. The ushers were very accommodating to handicapped persons.

Small and popular as its name calls it. This is an amazing place to enjoy events from music to theater and arts. No parking, and on street park is abusive in illegal prices for parking on the street. Look for near by official parking spots or take a cab.

Loved it, very classical looks and great acoustics, the resident band is just awesome! It's the national philharmonic orchestra, we saw them at the Queen tribute. Bathrooms are a little underwhelming but hey this building was built really long ago, I think remodeling the bathrooms could compromise the structure so I'm fine with them as they are.

Absolutely LOVE the Teatro Nacional. This is a must stop. Absolutely GORGEOUS & Historic. ♡♡♡♡♡

Just amazing, beautiful to go with family and friends or alone to hear awesome orchestras or live performances

Historic theater in San José. If you are visiting the city you might want to check if there's any concert of your interest. The Orquesta Filarmónica of Costa Rica plays there often, highly recommended! The pictures were taken from the 3rd floor!
