Lights, Camera, Vienna! The 6 Best English Cinemas to Visit in the City

What’s better than watching a movie? Watching it in its original language, of course! Vienna’s thriving expat community and tourists can all agree that watching a film in English has that extra special touch. Let's check out the best 6 movie theaters in Vienna, where you can enjoy movies in the English language.

The Haydn Kino is a Viennese family cinema that’s been delighting movie lovers since 1914. Known for its cozy atmosphere, comfortable seating, and a diverse selection of films, the Haydn Kino have earned devoted popularity among both expats and locals.

This place seems to the Vienna's most original and charming Cinema and Bar. It is not only home to one of the city's most beloved and charmingly rundown experimental and independent cinemas, but the Schikaneder Bar next door has also become a popular gathering spot for any bar-goers.

Art students, creatives, and other drink enthusiasts all gather here, lounging on comfortable old couches while a daily changing DJ lineup provides the perfect sound beats between indie rock, pop, minimal, techno, disco, and house.

Artis International is a part of the famous Cineplexx chain and is located right in the heart of the city’s old town, which makes it a very convenient location for those who wants to watch a movie in English. The cinema has cozy seats and a cool, modern look that will make you feel fancy and enjoy your movie even more!

Located in the heart of the city, the Burg Kino is a very charming and one of the oldest cinema in the world that screens a mix of mainstream and arthouse films. One really cool thing they do at the Burg Kino is showing a classic movie called The Third Man, which was filmed in Vienna. They show it about three times a week, so you can watch it just like people did when it first came out. It’s a great way to experience a piece of movie history!

Since the 80s, Votivkino has been the place to be for art house films from all over the world. Nearby, there is a second location in the 1st district called Kino De France. They also have some fun programs like "Movie & Wine", "Movie & Breakfast" (for early birds), "Baby Cinema" and other specials. And don’t forget about their annual festivals like the Jewish Film Festival, Festival du film francophone, International Children’s Film Festival, and Nuovo Cinema Italia. Looks like there’s something for everyone at Votiv cinema!

In conclusion, Vienna has no shortage of amazing English cinema theaters. Whether you’re in the mood for classic films, Hollywood blockbusters, art house, or a movie evening with that something extra, there’s definitely something for everyone. So, get your popcorn, relax, and enjoy the show!
