Open-air cinema

Barcelona offers several ways to enjoy open-air cinema

Summer is the perfect time to make the most of outdoor spaces and turn them into great open-air cinemas. Barcelona has several open-air cinema options for a pleasant evening under the stars with quality films.

SALA MONTJUÏC: Set in the iconic moats of Montjuïc Castle, this venue has become a classic of summer nights thanks to the magic of its surroundings and the quality and variety of its programme, all at a very affordable price. See the full programme here

PLATJA DE SANT SEBASTIÀ: From 29 June to 11 August, several beaches along the Catalan coast, including Platja de Sant Sebastià in La Barceloneta, host “Cinema Lliure a la Platja”, a showcase of local independent cinema with completely free entry. See the full programme here.

MECALAIR BARCELONA: Every Friday from 10 June to 16 September, Mecalair Barcelona screens a selection of quality short films from around the world in the open air. June screenings take place on the basketball court at Parc del Clot, while those in July, August and September are held in the Elisava gardens behind the Museu del Disseny in Glòries. There is also a bar serving Estrella beer, gin and tonics and vermouths, as well as “rice bowls” with a choice of three sauces. See the full programme here.
