What's new in 2022

This year Kinský Garden and monastery-turned-culture space Gabriel Loci, on the west side of town will open summer cinemas. The square in front of City Hall, Mariánské náměstí, will screen “silent” films, during which the audience will wear headphones so as not to disturb the neighborhood. Titles have yet to be announced.

There are also two drive-ins, both with some seating for the carless: Auto Kino Strahov and Autokino#Ledarny. In Prague, MeetFactory, Cross Club, and Kasárna Karlín, currently rank as the most-visited summer cinemas on GoOut.cz
