City KINOS Munich

City KINOS Munich

Blockbuster free zone

Stefan from Munich

About me I was born in a small village, about 40 kilometers away from Munich. At the age of 16 I began to visit Munich on weekends, just for shopping or having a coffee. When I was 20 I started to work in a picture agency as a trainee, then I changed to an advertising agency as a picture researcher. After two years I went back to a picture agency specialised on the topics food and interior. ...
""City KINOS" is a cinema in Munich even I didn't know about for a long time! I love the patio in front, but the best is its older cinema style!"

I thought that I'd been everywhere in Munich and that there was no place someone could recommend to me, that I didn't know already. But this cinema was totally new for me and I asked myself why I hadn't been there in the years that I've lived in Munich. It's like a small pearl or a paradise for cinemaniacs, who love to see films in English or independent movies, not in a high quality dolby surround system that hurt your ears, but in an old cinema atmosphere smelling of popcorn.

First you buy some snacks or popcorn, a soft drink or beer and walk outside in direction to the cinemas. I love the patio in front of the different cinemas. It has a kind of retro flair with its colourful chains of lights, the benches next to the virginia creeper. Even waiting before the movie starts is a kind of entertainment. And afterwards I feel like I have to stay for one more drink to enjoy the unique atmosphere.

My conclusion: you do not necessarily need to watch a movie - enjoy the atmosphere in the patio.
