Movies under the spangled sky

Cinema under starry skies is something Berlin delivers well during balmy summer nights. Open-Air Cinemas (called Freiluftkinos in German) are spread across the German capital in parks, old warehouses, and historic courtyards. Grab some popcorn and choose from romantic classics, thrillers, cult films, foreign language pickings, or art house cinema. Open Air Cinema Volkspark Friedrichshain is a Berliner favourite, while Open Air Cinema Kreuzberg presents a fantastic selection of original-version (non-dubbed) films. For cool art house flicks, the Open Air Cinema Hasenheide stands out from the crowd. For an atmospheric experience, head to the open air cinema at Potsdamer Platz, where Berlin's glittering cityscape acts as backdrop.
