Cinema Underneath the Stars Vienna

Free Open-air movies

"Vienna has a rich outdoor cinema scene; check out the most comprehensive, up-to-date guide with my tips and recommendations for a complete experience here!"

The most comprehensive guide to free outdoor movie spots this summer in Vienna :)

A wide selection of films, mostly screened in OVs, awaits you at Volxkino [until September 21]. Due to changing locations not always being as crowded as other places, I still recommend arriving at least 45 minutes early to secure seats or bringing a blanket.

Nerds, where are you? Meet like-minded ones at Science Fiction im Park [June 9 - 14].

Find a pedal-powered sustainable experience at the CycleCinemaClub's.

This year, for the second time, Volxkino will stop for an extended period at Karlsplatz KARLSkino [July 7 - 20]

New additions this year are ZukunftsKino [June 25 - September 3], featuring German-language movies, as well as two silent films with English text panels, and Kino am OWA in the garden of Pavillon 9 [August 2-24]. Also, Sunset Cinema: concept and program were created by the teenagers. On 12 dates, films from the 90s and 2000s will be shown at four locations. There are also movies at the markets: Marktkino [June 26 - August 14].

Music Film Festival on Rathausplatz features concerts [June 28 - August 31]. Or come to MQ for the frameout film festival [July 18 - September 15], or - if you love architecture, head to Architektur.Film.Sommer [July 30 - August 20].

A classic is the silent movie mini-festival Stumm & Laut in August [August 21-23].

 

Two more noteworthy open-air cinemas with (ca. €11) admission that search engines might fail to guide you to:
Dig your toes into the sand at Herrmann Beach Bar during Silent Cinema. Or, turn your sunroof into a star-roof at Autokino to watch a drive-in movie on a Saturday night.

"Roll it!"

Champa Restaurant

Flavours of home

The architecture is simple, light, and modern and allows the creative food and drinks to shine. Arguably one of the finest in Liesing, it still boasts very reasonable prices and ventures into the many flavors of Asia.

Lobau

Walk in the wild

Lao Lao

Contemporary Chinese at its best

The noodles just really taste so different if they are hand-made. The decoration of the plates and drinks is lovely and adds to the overall culinary experience.

Lucy Bar

Artsy Day Bar

The bar fits perfectly into the lobby of the famed Austrian pavilion of the Expo 1958 in Brussels, so much so that you might think it was always there.
