Would you like to enjoy your stay in Prague? What about visiting the cinema? Cinemas abound in Prague. They run the entire range: from the plush-seated multi-cinemas with surround sound, to cool tucked away art houses. From multiplexes to art houses and everything in between, the Czech capital has its fair share of cinemas.

Prague has around 35 cinemas, most of them showing Western movies, Hollywood blockbusters and at some of them you can see Czech films as well. Dozens of cinemas are located close to Wenceslas Square. Generally movies are screened in their original language with Czech subtitles but some are dubbed into Czech, so check before you go. The cartoon movies are usually dubbed into Czech. And other films are usually shown in their original language.

Art Houses Cinemas

Along with Aero, Svetozor is probably the most popular place for independent cinema in Prague. Unlike Aero, Svetozor is conveniently situated in the city centre, right on Wenceslas Square. Furthermore, they almost always show films with English-language subtitles, making it the prime spot for discovering up-and-coming Czech films you just wouldn’t get a chance to see at home.

Sight of numerous film festivals, special screenings, and premieres, Aero nonetheless manages to maintain a student vibe. Perhaps this has something to do with the youngish crowd always hanging out in the attached pub, where you’ll also meet local celebs, arty hipsters, film buffs and filmmakers.

Multiplexes

It is true that, like everywhere else, the American-style McCinemas are killing off the old-fashioned art house cinemas in Prague. While they offer many comforts and conveniences that the old cinemas simply do not – stadium seating, concession stand, etc. – they do not offer a guilt-free viewing. But all art cinemas in Prague have their loyal visitors and fans.

Outdoor Cinema

If you are in Prague in the summertime, be sure to check out the Strelecky Island outdoor cinema. You should see posters and flyers around town advertising their program.

Since 1996 the cinema Kinematograf bratri Cadiku will be launched on Strelecký ostrov in Prague. The green island in the very heart of Prague will host the festival. During the summer catch a film on the island, Strelecky Ostrov, and enjoy outdoor seating, good movies, and a river view.

The summer festival Strelak will traditionally offer a varied program consisting of films, concerts and theatre performances. Prague‘s cultural life is less active during the summer (most of theatres have holidays) and the open air cinema on Strelecky ostrov is the one place that introduces an attractive program, especially conceived for the summer holidays in Prague. The island will enliven through the magical world of motion pictures and of captivating melodies. The program will be topped up with events such as theatre performances, charitable events and table-soccer or petanque tournaments.
