Cine Polemiko Mouseio in Athens, Vasilissis Sofias Ave

Location: Vasilissis Sofias Ave

Located at the heart of Athens, near the Evangelismos metro stop, the Cine Polemiko Mouseio (Cine War Museum) is an open-air cinema seeking to provide a high-end viewing experience to its visitors. As the name suggests, it sits right next to the homonymous War Museum of Athens, and first opened its doors in the summer of 2021, making it one of the most contemporary open-air cinemas in all of Athens. Despite its only recent opening, it has quickly become a popular spot for movie-goers during the summer.

The exterior of the cinema sports a sleek, modern design. Once entering, guests will find the theater surprisingly spacious, with 220 seats available, and a lining of lavish green bushes around the walls. The seats are arranged in an amphitheater-like fashion, each row standing a bit lower than the one behind it, offering the best possible view for each and every person in attendance. With state-of-the-art equipment and a rather large screen, Cine Polemiko Mouseio aims to treat its guests with the highest quality combination of image and sound.

The bar provides guests with all the expected snacks and beverages, as well as alcoholic drinks and cocktails. There are also some more out-of-the-box offerings available, with the menu featuring different kinds of meals and other miscellaneous finger food, like meatballs or corn dogs.

Movie showings can range, from the classics of old to the newest releases hitting the theaters. Whether a local resident or a first-time visitor to Athens, one should not miss a chance to visit this immaculate open-air cinema, open Tuesday to Sunday.
