Drive-in cinemas are back in the Czech capital for the first time in 20 years! Perhaps this is one of the better things to arise out of quarantine? Enjoy the cinema experience from the safety of your own car. Don’t have one? Might be time to invest!
There are actually THREE new venues which have popped up for your viewing pleasure and convenience. Remember that all other cinemas in the Czech Republic are currently closed due to the COVID-19 quarantine and may not open until June at the earliest.
Drive-in Kino Praha
Drive-in Kino Praha is the new drive-in project in cooperation with Edison Filmhub and has a wonderful programme composed of both classic and contemporary films, both mainstream and festival art film. If you’ve been to Movie Barf Monday in Edison before, you know exactly what I’m talking about!
Starting from Wednesday, May 6th, you can catch Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, or masterful Joaquin Phoenix thriller You Were Never Really Here in the BEAUTIFUL Divoká Šárka forest and park for 450CZK per car.
