This theatre turned bookstore is the coolest tourist destination in Florence! If you love books and theatres. It's beautiful inside. It's a great spot to rest your feet and use the restroom with a purchase. Moulin Rouge was playing while I picked up a new book! Prices are very reasonable for new books too. Even better than in the USA. read more

Great bookstore with a good selection of English language books. There is a movie theater on the premises showing G rated films.

This cinema and bookstore is so unique and brilliant. There are many books to read while you are there or purchase and take home. During the day there is always a film on the big screen for people to watch while browsing or sit down and watch upstairs. Many people study here or simply come in for a break. It's truly beautiful and a must see for bookworms or film buffs. read more

Odeon - Cinema - Cinema Near Me - Florence, FI

During my stay in Florence, I was excited to hear that there was a local theater near my airbnb that was going to show "Captain Marvel"! Cinema Teatro Odeon was going to show this newly released film 36 hours before it would be screened in California. My friends & I booked their 1st screening of Captain Marvel on March 6th, 2019 for their 4pm performance. Their ticket price was €8.50. They let people into the theater about 15-minute prior to the showtime. Then there will be about 2 commercials before the film, and there's also an intermission halfway into the movie, which last about 5-minutes. Even though they have assigned seating, a new Hollywood film will not be crowded here, as there's plenty of seating available in this theatre. The screen isn't large, so you could sit in the first row and it won't be too bad. This is an old historic theater, so they only screen one movie, and they can also host other events here too. You can appreciate the history of this old theatre, so it was a unique experience. I wouldn't mind watching another movie here the next time I'm in Florence. read more

Odeon - March 6th, 2019 - Watching the opening to "Captain Marvel" in Florence! - Cinema Near Me - Florence, FI

6€ for a major motion picture? Why not? We watched Avengers 2 on a Wednesday night, which came out in Italy before it did in America. Once you enter the theater and hand over your ticket, you can purchase snacks, coffee, or alcoholic beverages from the full bar at the counter. My caffe latte was only 1.50€, although it was not a large beverage. There were plenty of seats available, although try to get there early (or have someone save you a seat) for preferred seats. Seats are flat and not tiered like many American theaters, though, so sitting in the back is not necessarily the best way to go. A brief intermission interrupted the movie in the worst moment but apparently that is common. But hey, I paid 6€ for a movie, why am I complaining? Definitely a great date night or group outing venue! read more

Odeon - 1.50€ Caffe Latte - Cinema Near Me - Florence, FI

No movie theatre I've gone to has ever compared to my movie going experience here. I have to say that the Archlight does come near, but it still has a sterility to it that Odeon didn't. Words I would use to describe Odeon include plush, classy, chic, warm, comfortable. We got our snacks from the fancy little concession stand and part way through the film the movie was stopped for an intermission. GENIUS! When I was there over a decade ago the first movie I saw here was Il Diario Di Bridget Jones. During the intermission people had the opportunity to revisit the concession stand, visit the bano and chat with friends about the film. It's such a small community in Florence that you're bound to run into people you know so it's nice to get a few moments to catch up mid film. The Odeon was also where we went on September 11 when we got tired of standing up in crowded bars trying to watch CNN. Odeon allowed us to escape the horrific things that had happened in NY and DC that we couldn't warp our heads around. When I visit Florence again I'll be checking the marquee at Odeon to see what films are showing! read more

The most amazing place EVER. It's an old opera theater turned movie theater. If you happen to be in Florence during the summer time, you can catch new American flicks here with Italian subtitles (double winning!) If you want to see what an old school florentine opera house looks like, go here! read more

Every time I am in Florence I make a point of going to this beautiful theater. To give you a sense of the history of this building in Piazza Strozzi, Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. In 1462 Vlad Dracul (yep, that one) forced Mehmed II out of Wallachia and the building which is now home to the Odeon Cinema was built. 1462 was also when Leonardo da Vinci designed his aerial screw - the flying machine that was never developed. Thirty-one years after that (1493) Columbus announced his discovery of America. So this building fairly oozes history! The structure was remodeled in 1922 with an Art Nouveau theme and turned into the movie theater it is to this day. The theater still contains original sculptures, tapestries, stained glass, and terazzo floors. This is not a modern multiplex theater. This is old-world class and style that seems alien by today's standards. There is also a terrific snack bar that also serves bottled beer and mixed drinks. The theater is romantic and flat-out fun. http://www.odeon.intoscana.it read more

I loved this theatre! Went to see Meryl Streep in "The Iron Lady" last Friday afternoon and my ticket was only €6 (full price for adults is €7.50 after 6pm so not too bad). The theatre itself is beyond gorgeous, with a full balcony and box seats, plus very old velvet-y chairs throughout the theatre. It is located just one block from Piazza della Repubblica, just through the arch near the carousel (via degli strozzi?) and to the left. They have a rotating schedule of American/UK films that are in the original English with Italian subtitles. Especially fun for those of us learning Italian, it definitely teaches you some new words & phrases :) read more

In the center of Florence and want to watch a movie in original language? Odeon is your place. I love this theater. Beautiful glass dome, yellow velvet captain seats, beautiful balconies (usually not open for movies). You can't ask for a more beautiful place to watch a newly released movie. Go get your popcorn & spritz and enjoy until intermission ;) then get another. Cheers! read more

I love going to Odeon Cinema, whenever a film that sparks my interest comes in, I'm there ... middle center isle, right, end side, under the glass dome. . . This theater is super elegant (old opera theater) it's carpeted, has super comfy spongey mustard color seats, high ceilings and amazing decorations. This is a theater where you can come dressed real fancy or wear sweat pants and feel well at ease. I have never tried to go sit up at the balcony, they might only open it when it's super packed. dunno. Its price is average €7.50 for weekends and €6.00 during the week, reduced priced for students €6.00. Attached to the cinema there is a little bar/restaurant where they have hot food buffet style apericena and some desert selection (pretty good chocolate cake). In the same room as the ticket office there is a little snack stand where you can buy drinks and snacks no fresh pop corn unfortunately ; ( I attend the original sound films, which personally I enjoy MUCH better than the dubbed versions. There are always Italian subtitles so it's enjoyable for everyone... except for those who tend to get sleepy when reading in a dim lit room ( i know lots of people like this ) This cinema is genuinely unique and enjoyable, check it out, I triple dog dare you ... read more
