This open air cinema event is so much more than just watching a film outdoors! At the Open Air Film Festival in the castle of Montjuic in Barcelona you can spend evenings full of music, good food and of course the best films ever in the beautiful historic atmosphere of the castle.
General info
This summer the festival takes place from June 28, 2019 until August 2, 2019. The films are shown three times a week on Fridays, Mondays and Wednesdays.
Sala Montjuic opens at 8:30 pm. Before each film there is a little concert which will start at 8:45 pm. The film itself will be screened at around 10 pm when it gets dark.
Unlike the open air cinemas in Paris, this event in Barcelona costs a little admission of 6.50€. Children under 12 years can enter for free. You can buy your tickets online or at the box office.
Spectators can reserve a chair for 3.25€ or bring their own chair or blanket to the venue. If it rains and the session is cancelled you can either refund your ticket or visit any other session for free.
Food and drinks
Of course, you can bring your own food and drink from home and have a nice little picnic at Sala Montjuic. Given the delicious food that is served there we would suggest skipping all the preparations and indulging in the treats offered at the xiringuito bar: handmade, organic and fresh burgers, pizza, chips, samosas, hummus…
