Overview

Haydn Kino, also branded as English Cinema Haydn, is a cinema located at Mariahilfer Straße 57 in the 6th district of Vienna, Austria. It is one of the city's traditional movie houses and is distinguished by its English-language programming, showing films in their original English versions for Vienna's international and English-speaking audiences. The cinema operates four halls with a total of 651 seats and hosts more than 50 events per year, according to its official website. Its programming includes current releases as well as coming-soon titles, and the venue is available for private rental. The building is an old structure, which has made retrofitting accessibility features difficult. Nevertheless, in 2019 the cinema succeeded in obtaining official approval for a stair lift, allowing wheelchair users to reach halls A and D. Wheelchair spaces can be reserved by phone, and a barrier-free entrance at Barnabitengasse 11 is opened shortly before performances. The cinema also offers services such as "Popcorn To Go" and holds an environmental certification (Umweltzeichen). It is easily reached by public transport, notably the U3 subway line to Neubaugasse station, as well as bus lines 13A and 14A, and there is a WienMobil bike station nearby. Reduced parking tickets for the WIPARK garage Windmühlgasse are available at the box office for guests with walking disabilities. As a long-established Viennese cinema with more than 100 years of history, Haydn Kino occupies a special place in the city's cultural landscape. It combines historic architecture with a specialized programming niche — English-language films — that serves both expatriates and German-speaking viewers who prefer original versions. The cinema's official website provides information on now-playing and coming-soon films, events, accessibility, and rental options. Its address and contact details are published on the site: Mariahilfer Straße 57, 1060 Vienna, Austria, phone +43 1 587 22 62.
