    Kino

    Formerly the Szindbád cinema, named after the seminal (and eponymous) 1971 film by director Zoltán Huszárik and based on the novel by Gyula Krúdy, this newly renovated cinema shows good Hungarian and foreign films with subtitles.

    Örökmozgó

    Part of the Hungarian Film Institute, this cinema (whose mouthful of a name vaguely translates as ‘moving picture’) screens an excellent assortment of foreign classic films in their original languages.

    Uránia National Cinema

    This art deco/neo-Moorish extravaganza is a tarted-up film palace. It has an excellent cafe on the 1st floor overlooking Rákóczi út.

    Művész

    The ‘Artist’ shows, appropriately enough, artsy and cult films, but not exclusively so.

    Pushkin

    This long-established cinema shows a healthy mix of art-house and popular releases.
