Breitenseer Lichtspiele
This delightful Art Nouveau cinema is an absolute gem. Opened in 1909, the Breitenseer still retains its original wooden seats and carries the atmosphere of a bygone era in cinema history. Films are usually in English with German subtitles, and some are quite risqué.
-
Burg Kino
The Burg Kino is a central cinema showing only English-language films. It has regular screenings of the The Third Man , Orson Welles' timeless classic set in post-WWII Vienna, at Friday and Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday. Cinemas here range from small to extra large.
-
Filmcasino
An art-house cinema of some distinction, the Filmcasino screens an excellent mix of Asian and European docos and avant-garde short films, along with independent feature-length films from around the world. Its '50s-style foyer is particularly impressive.
-
Gartenbaukino
Fortunately the interior of the Gartenbaukino has survived since the 1960s, making a trip to the flicks here all the more appealing. The actual cinema seats a whopping 750 people and is often packed during Viennale screenings. Its regular screening schedule is full to overflowing with art-house films, normally with subtitles.

Künstlerhauspassage
A glass box beneath the Künstlerhaus, Künstlerhauspassage is a refuge for Vienna's art scene. Spoken word performances, films, live music and DJs take turns entertaining a thoroughly alternative crowd; ' IckeMicke ,' every Friday night from August to September, tops the bill with progressive techno and electronica from the next big names in the DJ business. The adjoining outdoor ampitheatre is a perfect escape from the sweaty dance floor.

Schikaneder
Most of the colour in Schikaneder comes from the regularly projected movies splayed across one of its white walls - the students and arty crowd who frequent this grungy bar dress predominantly in black. But that's not to detract from the bar's atmosphere, which exudes energy well into the wee hours of the morning.

Strandbar Herrmann
This newcomer on the banks of the canal made a huge splash in Vienna's bar scene in 2006. Its beach-bar design, complete with beach chairs, sand and an open-air outlook, attracts hordes of Viennese on hot summer evenings and at times its impossible to find a chair. Films occasionally feature, blankets are available on cooler evenings, and Glühwein (mulled wine) is served in December.
-
Votivkino
Built in 1912, the Votiv is one of the oldest cinemas in Vienna. It's been extensively updated since then and is now among the best cinemas in the city. Its three screens feature a mix of Hollywood's more quirky ventures and art-house films in their original language. The Tuesday screenings are reserved for mothers, fathers and babies.
