Cinema São Jorge — Local services in Lisbon

Cinema São Jorge is a beautiful, historic cinema that every film lover should have on their radar. Housed in an old building, it constantly hosts screenings and is regularly featured in film festivals and cultural events.

If you're into the film scene, this place is a must. It's super easy to get to, right by the Avenida metro station (blue line) and also well-connected by bus. It’s located right on one of the main roads in Lisbon.

The ticket booth is outside, on the left, and the staff speak English, so no worries if you're visiting. They accept both cash and card.

The theater itself is grand, spacious, and atmospheric, you really feel like you're part of something special when watching a movie here. Most foreign films come with subtitles in both English and Portuguese, and in some cases, they’ll even display subtitles on a separate bar screen if the event organizer provides them.

The only downside is the men's toilet, which feels a bit old, like something out of Harry Potter (charming for some, inconvenient for others). But that’s part of the vintage charm, I guess.

There’s also a lovely balcony on the second floor, and during some events at night, they even offer free drinks. Overall, it’s an iconic venue that mixes cinematic culture with Lisbon’s...

Cinema São Jorge isn't just a cinema; it's a Lisbon landmark and a cultural powerhouse. From hosting prestigious French film festivals to showcasing chilling horror flicks, its walls have pulsated with cinematic energy for decades.

But the magic extends beyond the silver screen. Imagine this: you wander into the iconic halls in the afternoon, the air still buzzing with the echoes of the last performance. You settle down for a leisurely coffee, surrounded by genuine cinema props – remnants of fantastical worlds brought to life.

Suddenly, your cappuccino feels like a prop itself, part of a grand movie set. A director might call for "Action!" and you wouldn't be surprised. That's the captivating allure of Cinema São Jorge – it's not just a place to watch movies, it's a place to step into the world of...

My first time on the cinema was to participate on Cinema Medo. It’s a immersive terror experience where you follow the characters stories in order to discover the main mystery. The participants are divided in teams and participate in various challenges being randomly picked to perform challenges. The actors were amazing, we were really catched by the story. The only point to keep an eye on, is that the experience requires a lot of running up and down stairs in the dark. It’s quite tiring and demanding. Overall, I was surprised on how much I enjoyed it, and on how different the experience was for each participant. Highly...
