The Venue
Gartenbaukino
The Viennese Gartenbaukino owes a special place amongst Vienna’s cinemas. Built in 1960, the cinema exudes the generosity and self-confidence of a classic premier venue. With its impressive 115 square meter big screen and 736 seats, it is Austria’s largest cinema.
Located at the heart of Vienna, lavish and with a wonderful flair, the cinema combines the benefits of a great atmosphere, with the qualities of a diverse and changeable venue.
