And even better when that cinema occupies some historical space redolent with the scent of noble opulence and timeless elegance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Not sure opulence or elegance can have a scent, but you know what I mean.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, Belvedere opened up its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/belvedere-sites\/kammergarten-privy-garden\/\">privy gardens<\/a> (Kammergarten) in August to the majesty of the movies: you got to relax in deckchairs, surrounded by landscaped lawns and plant beds, as the sun dropped below <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/belvedere-sites\/lower-belvedere\/\">Lower Belvedere palace<\/a> and its Baroque <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitingvienna.com\/sights\/museums\/belvedere-sites\/orangery\/\">Orangerie<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year had a different theme: the last one (pre-COVID) was &#8220;Gr\u00fcnblick&#8221;, which I translate as &#8220;a view of green&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many Kino im Kammergarten films were in English or with English subtitles, so non-locals could enjoy the experience, too. For example, I found at least seven English-language highlights from the previous full cinema season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><em>Ad:<\/em><br><\/div><div data-tiqets-widget=\"discovery\" data-cards-layout=\"horizontal\" data-content-type=\"product\" data-content-ids=\"974613,1025105\" data-partner=\"visitingvienna\" data-tq-campaign=\"DA_Belvedere\"><\/div><script defer=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/widgets.tiqets.com\/loader.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dates, tickets &amp; tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kammergarten usually had daily showings through much of August, typically starting at 9pm unless the weather forced cancellation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve used the past tense quite deliberately in this post, because I don&#8217;t have the next dates yet (assuming the event does repeat; it skipped recent years or moved to the Belvedere 21 modern art centre).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cinema has always been free in principle, but, of course, you would need a ticket to get into Lower Belvedere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Incidentally, during past Kammergarten cinema seasons, any exhibitions in Lower Belvedere and at the Orangerie stayed open longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to get to the Kammergarten<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You reach the Kammergarten via Lower Belvedere palace.
