With the return of good weather and summer just around the corner, talking about open-air movies in Porto is a very pleasant idea. So how about swapping the closed rooms for an experience under the stars? Best of all, you don’t even have to leave Porto, as there are several sessions waiting for you in Praça da Batalha.
Leaving the comfort of the interior of the Batalha Centro de Cinema, one of the most emblematic cinemas in Invicta, the “Oasis” program promotes a total of seven free outdoor screenings. This year, the cultural initiative is scheduled from July 10 to 20.
