My fav cinema in town : nice movie selection , Cineville circuit, friendly and relaxed atmosphere and cheap beer ;) very busy on friday and saturday

Sacha van Beelen

A classic. You ain't gonna find the big blockbuster films here, here you watch the real movies . And after that, buy a drink in the bar .

Party Earth

Plantage is one of the greenest neighborhoods in town . Definitely take some time to bike through Oost Park , Flevopark, the Botanical Gardens , and the dozens of relaxing grassy places in between. Read more

A charming, historic little cinema with a hip bar that occasionally features live music . One of my favourite cinemas in Amsterdam .

On any night, Kriterion is always a great way to end the day. A film house for the people, by students. Read more
