Letní Letná, the winter version of the popular summer circus has plenty of fun planned under its (heated) big top: swing dancing, big bands, and electroswing DJ sets from 7pm.
Kick off the festivities with late afternoon film screenings and party well into the New Year with DJs and drinks at Kino Aero; meanwhile at Kino Lucerna, the Berlin Philharmonic gala New Year’s Eve concert gets a live showing.
