Cinemas & Theaters

A LIFE IN PICTURES AND SOUNDS​

Today, in a world full of cinephiles and movie goers and those suffering from the so-called ″theatermania″, we have dedicated a space for all the places in Belgrade where you can go, relax and have some nice time after a long day at work. The bad thing for foreigners when it comes to this matter is that cinemas and theaters in Serbia usually don’t have a website in English. But, don’t worry, that’s what we are here for.

CINEMAS​

Like any other capital, Belgrade offers plenty of choices regarding cinema options. Generally, all the foreign movies released in Serbia are in their original version with Serbian subtitles. There are also other different cinemas which only perform author movies, organize special film festivals and we even have a couple of old school cinemas with old-time classics in black & white! Definitely a must place to visit for everybody in Belgrade.
