Cinema

Just a 10 minute walk from the main railway station is absolutely the cutest cinema in the city, Vester Vov Vov. At the time the cinema was established (1975), there were plenty of cinemas side by side in the area of Vesterbro, but this one is the only one still standing. Even though they sometimes show some “mainstream” -movies, are they still considered as an art cinema. The movies are chosen with thought and they always have an interesting film to see. And the earlier showing you choose, the cheaper are the tickets.

For me, especially the Vester Vov Vov’s café plays a big role in creating the good, old cinema atmosphere: Cane chairs, big movie posters and checked floor, not forgetting the glass roof. They sell the beverages also to be enjoyed during the show, which I like a lot. And if you are lucky with your timing, during the summer they have outdoors cinema! Just remember to take (a phone with) a radio and headphones, since the voices of the movie are to be heard only that way in order not to disturb the neighbors.

Like they say in Denmark: god fornøjelse!

Just a few meters from the main shopping street (“strøget”) and not very far from the town hall square – you will find a real old-school movie theater.

They show both national and international movies. Especially during CPH: DOX.dk festival where a lot of international movies are shown.

I love the relaxed atmosphere in here and it almost feels like I’m traveling back in time, when I walk up the stairs for 2 hours of entertainment. The theaters are small but cozy. The hall gets really crowded, minutes before the curtain falls, but entering the theater will make you forget this instantly. The fact that you can’t get popcorn and only little candies, is not actually a bad thing. Instead they serve delicious desserts, wines, cold and hot drinks – which is actually a nice change from the normal overpriced and over salted popcorn.

The crowd normally consists of elderly people, which just mean less noise during the movie. And the staff is very friendly.

Personally I always come here to watch the highly rated movies, because this is the one place that gives me the original movie-theater experience.
