Most Berlin districts have open air cinemas showing old, classic and new films, some are formally organised in parks and venues, others happen in courtyards of cultural centres and nightclubs. Entrance is about five euros and most cinemas have deckchairs and blankets for customers.

Look in Tip or Zitty for "Freiluft Kino"
The open air cinema season normally starts mid May through to September

The CineStar cinema, at the Sony Centre, shows films in their native language, so if your German isn't too hot, you can catch the latest blockbuster. They also show German and European films. A modern and clean cinema, one rather endearing feature is that they still have ice- cream salespeople who come into the auditorium after the ads and trailers. No intermission, though!

See the "last built European Boulevard" by taking a walk eastwards from the astonishing Alexanderplatz. Take a look at the Cinema International with its fabulous lobby. By passing the Strausberger Platz you will enter Karl-Marx-Allee with its splendid and opulent façades (built in the early 1950s by socialist workers using war ruins). It was east Berlin's pride and aorta and, now again, there are nice cafes, art galleries and the street's sheer monumentality will take your breath.

Karl-Marx-Allee; nearest U-Bahn: Alexanderplatz or Strausberger Platz (U5)
