Votiv Kino

Votiv Kino holds a very special place in my life. For the past three years, I have gone there regularly, and it has been far more than a cinema to me. Through meaningful moments shared with close friends and films that truly resonated, this place contributed profoundly to my emotional well-being and helped me rediscover joy, calm, and imagination during a difficult period of my life. What makes this cinema exceptional is the intelligence and integrity of its programming. The international selection, the respect for original languages with subtitles, and the clear focus on thoughtful, creative films—rather than formulaic blockbusters—create an environment where cinema becomes an art, not a product. Each visit offers space to laugh, to dream, and to reflect. Votiv Kino is a cultural refuge: discreet, human, and deeply inspiring. I am grateful for what it represents and for the role it has played in my life. A truly invaluable institution in Vienna’s cultural landscape. With all my heart ❤️ Hélène

Great programme and atmosphere at Votiv Cinema, with tasty popcorn and a lovely nostalgic flair. A solid choice for independent films in Vienna.

Wonderful movie theater including a small bar with great vibes. Wheelchair accessible through stair lift and the help of friendly and considerate staff. One of these places that make Vienna a great city.

The place is very nice, a well-prepared program. A special destination for more education and meeting people of the same interests. The documentary films festival is one of the best in town. The staff are nice and friendly. one can make it your destination for a nice evening without hesitation .

Used to be my favorite go-to theater for popcorn, but prices recently went high up. €3.80 for a small bag, instead of €3.10

good seats fresh popcorn 🍿

Beautiful, small cinema, not a mainstream commercial cinema, this cinema has a soul.

Great Cinema for English films in Vienna. Although the assortment of snacks is limited I was happy with the popcorn I got. If they had nachos it would be 5 stars.

Votiv Kino is a pretty cool place indeed. Like other cinematic venues in Vienna, we were able to reserve our seats online in advance, without an additional fee, and pick up the tickets at the box office. The people were pretty friendly and didn't seem to mind that we were a larger group going to see the movie. Votiv Kino offers an interesting selection of movies, in their original languages with German subtitles, and it's in a great location (on Währinger Straße at the Schwarzspanierstraße Straßenbahn stop). I can't believe it took me two years to discover this gem; I'll definitely be going back!

Votiv Kino is not like any other cinema. I daresay it is extraordinary. Here will be shown movies, which aren´t shown in other cinemas. I personally believe that cinemas has a hard era, so I liek to show you why you should go to this cinema and not in one of the big cineplex cinemas. I am a person I like the tradition and not such an modern consumption of movies. This is for me the best becauseof the reason, if you go there you won´t support some big entrepeneurs. If you are also thinking like me you will love this cinema. The Votiv Kino shows especially international movies often in their original language.
