The best open-air cinemas in Hamburg 2024
ElbFilmKunst
ElbFilmKunst wants to expand the cultural offerings in the western districts of the city and therefore shows movies and short films at "natural locations" in and around Altona.
Zeise Open Air Kino
The Zeise Open Air, which we love, shows a huge film program at the Altona town hall every summer. Even Hamburg's bad weather can't spoil the movie experience, as some of the seating areas are even covered.
filmRaum Open Air Kino
The filmRaum Open Air shows a wonderful film program in Eimsbüttel's Stadtpark from Wednesdays to Saturdays. The best thing about it: the screenings are free every Friday.

Probably the largest open-air cinema in Hamburg has two screenings per evening on its program again this year. And almost every day, with a huge selection of snacks and drinks. Then a round on the Schulterblatt afterwards? No problem.
HausDrei // Stadtteilkulturzentrum in Altona-Altstadt

HausDrei Stadtteilkulturzentrum is also showing two films open air this year that have been lovingly curated and that you probably didn't have on your radar yet.
