Cinemas Albania

Opened in 1995, this cinema is located on the Murat-Toptani pedestrian street, near Tirana Castle. The well-equipped 260-seat cinema screens mainly English-language films with Albanian subtitles. A few silly French comedies are also occasionally programmed. And since the complex also includes a pleasant garden restaurant (Millennium Gardens), you don't have to eat popcorn exclusively. Otherwise, there are three other cinemas in town, but no real arthouse cinemas.

This open-air cinema is located in the northern part of the Grand Parc, slightly below the Teatri Veror (summer theater). All summer long, films are shown at dusk, mostly foreign productions (sometimes in French) with Albanian subtitles. There's a great atmosphere: you can sit on big cushions, buy ice cream, popcorn, hot dogs or beer, and sometimes there's a little party after the film. Tip: arrive at least 30 minutes before the film starts.
