4. The legendary Filmcasino – Guide to Margareten

This movie theatre on Margaretenstraße is a longstanding and legendary establishment in the fifth district that screens mainly arthouse movies in their original language. The place is really not hard to miss due to its giant retro-looking neon sign out front.

The Filmcasino dates back to 1911, but back then it was first called ‘Kinographentheater’ and later renamed as ‘Margeretner Bürgertheater’. In 1954, it received a full fifties fix up by the architect, Albrecht F. Hrzan, and his design has been preserved ’til today. After a not-so-voluntary hiatus of 20 years, the cinema came into full operation again in 1989 and is still up and running today in its true fifties beauty.

Actually, it could also be a fun spot for you to take your fifties-loving boo on a date and pretend you’re traveling through time to see a movie from way back when. Might get you a few weird looks, but oh well, who cares about those boring people, right? For whatever occasion you choose to catch a movie at this beautiful place, you should definitely check out their program beforehand!
