Reading: Top 10 open-air cinemas in Europe: readers’ travel tips

With romantic locations under the stars, Europe’s outdoor cinemas evoke the magic of the silver screen

Sala Montjuïc, Barcelona

 Sala Montjuïc, Barcelona

Winning tip: Sala Montjuïc, Barcelona

The Sala Montjuïc is an open-air cinema festival that takes place each summer in the gardens of Barcelona’s Montjuïc Castle. There’s a mix of classics and new films. Last year I saw Blancanieves, the silent film version of Snow White, backed by a live band. You can get a ticket for €13.50 that includes an organic burger and chips, although there are plenty of people who bring hampers full of beer and snacks.
