Abaton-Kino

Located not far from the University of Hamburg, the Abaton Cinema is one of the pioneers of the arthouse cinema movement in Germany and has been screening European and international art films in three theaters since 1970—mostly in their original language with subtitles. Once a year, Allendeplatz in front of the cinema becomes the festival hub for the Hamburg International Film Festival. At the cinema bar, Andrea and Ignazio have been behind the counter for nearly 25 years, serving refreshments, snacks, and popcorn.
