The Breitenseer Lichtspiele in Penzing is the oldest cinema in the world. Just pause and let that sink in for a moment. When you are in Vienna, you've got a chance to check out the world's oldest cinema. Do it ... and if you can - do it often. This cinema must be saved forever. Professor Anita Nitsch-Fitz who lovingly keeps this landmark open is always in need of support and the best way to support it is to attend a movie there. The experience is worth more than your ticket of admission. Inside the lobby and restrooms is pure Hollywood kitsch and the auditorium itself is a perfect size to enjoy a film. The seats can be hard but hey - in the rear of the Kino there are pillows - just grab one or two and take them to your seat. Buy some concessions to eat and drink ... and then sit back and enjoy a cool night at the movies.
