Burgkino Vienna

a classic

""Burgkino" is one of my favourite cinemas in Vienna, and among one of the oldest in the city. This movie theater regularly shows The Third Man..."

Here comes an ode to one of my favourite cinemas in Vienna: Burgkino is among the oldest of movie theaters in town. It is easy to find and goes along greatly with a leisurely evening walk through Burggarten.

Burgkino has enchanted me from the very beginning with its decent, interior, the big red letters above the entry and its two-leveled auditorium. All movies come in OV, sometimes including English subtitles, tickets are still affordable, even on a Sunday.

Plus, Burgkino regularly shows The Third Man, one of the few better-known movies filmed completely in - and partly under - Vienna. Don't bother getting the Anton Karas' catchy soundtrack out of your mind for the rest of your time Vienna, you won't succeed.
