This place is heaven! There are old European and American movies playing everyday and you can get a list of them at the front desk. The museum isn’t very large, you might want to check it out while waiting for the movies. Make sure you pay a visit the bookstore! Plenty of vintage magazines in Portuguese. So precious.

Went for the "cinema museum", and was quite disappointed. The museum is actually just the first floor of the cinema with a few old cameras, projectors and cinema-chairs. I thought that it would be an actual museum telling the Portuguese film history. And, if your not speaking Portuguese, all you can do is look at the items but not knowing anything about them. As I'm not from Portugal I didn't went to the cinema as I guess I would not be able to understand the movies themselves.

Super interesting history, cool restaurant with even and outdoor space! Really good food and price. They have Meetup there or just conference where they talk about the history of the place. The meetings are weekly and you can go in just for for free if you want to meet new people from everywhere!

My favourite cinema in Lisboa. The building is gorgeous and every little detail makes for a wonderful cinematic experience. I love the entrance and the neon sign. I love how affordable the cinema is (3.20 a ticket!) I love how the ticket seller always kindly checks to see if you are eligible for any discounts 😀 I love the star effect ceiling before you enter the cinema room. I love to hang out in the cafe and get a drink before the film and hearing the somewhere over the rainbow music to signal the start of the film. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Unbelievable place! It's an old cinema in the city centre where you can feel being 60 years back and watch the old movies. Incredible experience! They show some world classics in original language, not only Portuguese, but also French, Italian, Spanish, and of course American. Really stunning decoration with old video cameras, old cinema chairs, and posters on the wall. Even if you don't want to see a movie, just drop by for a coffee or a cocktail in the rofttop restaurant

Was really excited to go there with my girlfriend since we both really enjoy movies, but couldn´t help to leave the place a little bit disappointed since there were no exhibitions happening and the place was quite small. However, if you are around avenida da liberdade and fancy a cocktail or a coffee, they have a great rooftop bar and a really cute bookstore. If you can, check the website beforehand and see the schedules of the movie screenings!

It's a restaurant & bar on the 2nd floor. Petiscos were amazing! We tried 6 dishes and getting better each dish. My favorite were octopus salad (all cuts in small bites), sautè pork tenderloin topped with sunny side egg, and bacalao on a bed of shredded potato.

The museum part of the cinematheque was a lot smaller than we had expected. Entrance is free, but it was still a bit disappointing. There is a nice courtyard which i assume is used for viewing movies. The best part of it all was the small shop with interesting books about cinematography. We didn’t get to see any movies as the Cinema was closed.

Beautiful old building, restaured with love for the art. Wonderful environment, love for the moving pictures. The films are shown in original with subtitles, which for movie lovers is a delight. Subtitles where in English ( for non-english spoken films) and Portuguese.

If you love cinema you need to go and see this place. They schedule old film-noir movies all day long and a ticket is just €3,20. The whole entourage of Cinematheque is so oldschool and that makes the whole “going to the movies” experience just right. Next to the cinema there’s a lounge with old camera’s/projectors. On the first floor you can also find a library, a bookshop with great books about cinema (mostly Portugese though :(, a little expo space and a café with a outdoor terrace (you can grab a drink or food here for very fair prices). I consider this place really a hidden gem in Lisboa, I would most definitely visite it again.

One of the reference cinemas in Lisbon. An excellent place to visit. Good movies.

That was an amazing cultural place. The building also is very beautiful. Fantastic people. Great snack bar too!

Wonderful programming of classics (usually with English and Portuguese subtitles), friendly staff (especially in the fantastic bookstore), and great food and ambiance in the cafe. The museum and architecture is also a treat.

Cinema screenings are varied and in numerous languages, tickets are €3 There's a small (free) museum, bookshop and restaurant/bar with a large terrace called 39degraus, upstairs.

2 months ago : Everything's closed and it's written nowhere. How is it even possible ? Update : It was not a sunday, genius, it was during the week, and the website said it was open !!! It was in august, and we checked the opening hours before we came.

Cool little museum in Lisbon with a café and book/magazine shop upstairs and a cinema with an amazing selection of films shown every month. Highly recommended if you're a film lover visiting Lisbon. Very friendly staff!

Best place to see old movies and to get to know the history of the cinema

Beatiful building. The entrance has wonderful Islamic-Andalusian decorations. The exhibition is rather small but still nice.

God this is such a wonderful place! Every single detail is thought of and connects to the movies. The building itself is gorgeous. The library is gorgeous. The movie rooms are comfy. The prices are super affordable. Please do not miss this, it is a gem!

This place is a gem! Highly recommend a visit to their cafe bar (with terrace). The staff are super helpful and the food is great. A lovely place to hang out. Apparently, they show films outside in the Summer. One of the most beautiful art cinemas I've been to. They've got a book shop and a quiet library. Lots of English language films. Using proper film rather than digital. I'll be back.

Great objects and posters. Great bookstore and chill terrace.

Very interesting movie choices and very nice atmosphere. The prices are very very low for students (as it should be). It would be nice if you did some projections with english subtitles too!

Cute little museum

(Translated by Google) Pretty nice place. With cameras, armchairs and old exhibition projectors. Always with a poster of old movies in 8 millimeters. (Original) Bastante bonito el lugar. Con cámaras, butacas y proyectores antiguos de exposición. Siempre con un cartel de películas antiguas en 8 milímetros.

The space is cozy with a bookstore and a coffee upstairs. It's free so you can still give it a try, but the museum is so tiny. I was expected to learn a bit about Portuguese cinema. Instead I got a small exhibition about German movies. I didn't really see the point of the museum. Nice place but a bit meaningless.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful. (Original) Maravilha.

Great place with many great old film cinema cameras and projectors. Entrance fee is free. But it will be more knowledgeable if there are descriptions about the photos, cameras, projectors etc.

Gr8t museum around cinema, with an impressive collection of camera and projectors. Front desk guy is not very interested into customers...but don't let that hold you back.

If you are a nerd about European and world cinema. This is a must. Located in a beautiful townhouse it has lots of historic artefacts and an absolutely lovely library cum bookshop with memorabilia. They have two screens showing classic and world cinema. They have special screens with English subtitles from July to September. I came away with additional knowledge about classic Portuguese movie directors and armed with a collection of great films. Thank you. I'm coming back! Only for those with a passion for genius!

Lovely retro cinema :) 3 euro for a good old movie, if you are a movie lover and need an escape from the party night life

(Translated by Google) A great place for those who love cinema! A varied film program to satisfy discerning moviegoers! A small shop to buy beautiful drunk, posters etc ... And a restaurant where you can have lunch on a beautiful terrace when the weather is nice for a fair price. Truly a great place! :) (Original) Un lieu formidable pour qui aime le cinéma ! Une programmation de films variées afin de rassasier les cinéphiles avertis ! Une petite boutique pour acheter de beaux ivre, affiches etc ... Et un restaurant où vous pouvez déjeuner sur une belle terrasse lorsqu'il fait beau pour un tarif correct. Vraiment un lieu formidable ! :)
