The Monaco Open Air Cinema

What an experience. Staff were unbelievably polite along with incredibly helpful to catering for our entire time. Chairs really comfy and more than enough leg room, screen was so clear easily the best cinema experience I’ve ever had. Would 100% go again. Film was great too.

Absolutely beautiful cinema, all the staff are very polite and the movie quality was brilliant, highly recommend

While the cinema has a unique atmosphere, it's poorly managed, significantly overpriced and uncomfortable. Most importantly, the audio and overall viewing quality are quite poor. I understand it's not fair to expect Dolby or IMAX-level standards, but many films are barely audible. You get an overall better viewing experience at home. I suggest investing in a better audio sound system.

What a truly remarkable, once-in-a-lifetime experience! We were lucky enough to have gone on the same night as the summer fireworks display, where I think it was Lithuania kickstarting the competition. The views were magnificent and they started the film (Lion King - highly recommended!) after the fireworks are done. It was a spectacular 2 for 1 deal and because of the sea breeze coming into port we were able to see the fireworks clearly as the view is from the sea side. The seating, food, and entire cinema ambiance is great! One of my favorite and most memorable things to do in Monaco.

Have been here for years if not decades…it’s only 90% American blockbusters, so definitely not « cinéma d’art et d’essai » type of place. Great scenery, comfortable chairs, acceptable-price snacking (pretty wide offering), sound is good despite being « open air », nice young staff, cheap and easy parking. Now on the downside… many (wealthy locals from Monaco who fit the haughty and whimsical profile ? Yes cliché I know) don’t respect the place: constant use of smartphones throughout the movie 😤, half of the place is smoking allowed 🙄with obviously smokers who don’t care about bothering others.

During the summer a great way to spend with the family. We've combined it with the fireworks competition so it was really a magical night. Placed underneath the oceanography museum. Has a great view of the Mediterranean sea.

I am gluten intolerant, so I brought my own popcorn to enjoy the movie like everyone else. However, I was stopped and told that I am not allowed to bring food with me. After explaining that the theater does not offer a gluten-free popcorn option, I still wasn’t allowed to bring my popcorn in. This feels like discrimination. If you have such rules, please ensure they do not discriminate against individuals with health issues.

A central part of Monaco culture. A true monaco institution. An excellent place to spend a delightful evening! The location above Monaco is epic. Organisation and queuing is a bit old school but the overall experience is magical.
