The Gartenbaukino in Vienna is a special place among the city’s cinemas. Built in 1960, it exudes the generosity and confidence of a classic premiere cinema. With its impressive large screen and 736 seats, it is the last large single-screen cinema in Vienna’s city centre. After a successful start, the Gartenbaukino experienced a varied history.
With its acquisition by the Viennale, the Gartenbaukino has established itself as a permanent part of urban cinema culture. The Gartenbaukino is the central venue of the successful Vienna International Film Festival, a place of glamorous openings and legendary late-night screenings, major premieres, and diverse, well-curated programs. It is that cinema in the city with which many Viennese of all ages associate personal memories.
The GARTENBAUKINO, in the heart of the city, spacious and with a wonderful flair, combines a great aura with the qualities of a diverse program.
