Cine Lido

Cine Lido is a movie theater operating as part of a cultural complex that screens digital films for about 150 people in a modern setting. The space also functions as an exhibition area and connects with adjoining artistic facilities to create an integrated experience.

The theater opened in late 1942 and originally held over 1,300 spectators in the Hipódromo district before undergoing major changes. Over time, it transformed into a smaller, specialized film venue within a cultural complex.

The cinema functions as part of a larger cultural hub that brings together film screenings and a bookstore, allowing visitors to experience different art forms in one location. This combination shapes how locals and travelers view the space as a gathering point for creative expression.

The theater is located at the corner of Tamaulipas and Benjamin Hill and opens daily from 9 AM to 11 PM, giving visitors plenty of time to visit in the morning or evening. The location is easily walkable and provides access to nearby shops and restaurants in the area.

The cinema shares a building with the Rosario Castellanos bookstore, named after a notable Mexican writer and poet. This physical connection between film and literature creates an unusual meeting point for people interested in exploring different artistic forms.
