There’s nothing like taking advantage of a day off to enjoy a movie at the cinema, is there? Whether it’s the most clichéd, an Oscar nominee or a very different one, nothing compares to seeing the stories on the big screen – even more so with some popcorn to go with it. So check out our list of some of the best movie theaters in São Paulo.
Brazilian Cinematheque
The Cinemateca Brasileira is not only one of the best cinemas in São Paulo, but also plays a fundamental role in preserving the national audiovisual scene.
This is because it has the largest collection in South America, with more than 200,000 film reels and a million documents on cinema. In addition, its halls, libraries and gardens are a must-see in the city!
📌Largo Senador Raul Cardoso, 207 – Vila Clementino
CineSala
CineSala is one of São Paulo’s favorite street cinemas.
No wonder! The program is very diverse and there are even sofas in the first rows for one or two people. The space also has a charming café!
fradique Coutinho Street, 361 – Pinheiros
Itaú Cinema Space
Espaço Itaú de Cinema is a true meeting point for lovers of the seventh art and, for this reason, one of the best cinemas in São Paulo.
The unit on Rua Augusta is our favorite, but it’s also worth visiting the one at Shopping Frei Caneca. The catalog is always impeccable, as it makes the perfect mix of more commercial and alternative films.
rua Augusta, 1.475 – Consolação
Cinépolis JK Iguatemi
If you want to go to the movies, but also enjoy a luxury experience, Cinépolis at JK Iguatemi is the place for you!
There, each room has a different vibe and some of them make you feel like you’re inside the movie, with sensations of movement, water, wind and more! Not to mention the impeccable picture and sound quality!
📌Avenida Juscelino Kubitscheck, 2.041 – Vila Olímpia
Cinemark Villa Lobos
Cinemark Villa Lobos is also a great option for those who want a complete movie experience.
This is because some of the unit’s theaters also offer special seats that move according to the movie scenes. In addition, others have very powerful sound and an (even) larger screen size!
📌Avenida das Nações Unidas, 4.777 – Jd. Pinheiros University
Cultural Reserve
Reserva Cultural is a favorite for those looking for a program outside the more clichéd and commercial circuit. That’s because the cinema offers many European and offbeat films.
Themed and special screenings also take place at this movie theater. The space, which is located in the Cásper Líbero Foundation building, also houses a cafeteria and bookstore.
📌Avenida Paulista, 900 – Bela Vista
Kinoplex Parque da Cidade
Is it a movie theater or a restaurant? At Kinoplex Parque da Cidade, you’ll find practically both.
The unit has Platinum rooms, which have very comfortable armchairs – the kind you want to stay in forever, you know? What’s more, you can go beyond popcorn and choose a special menu with wines, cheeses, sparkling wines and more!
📌Avenida das Nações Unidas, 14.401 – Chácara Santo Antônio
