What’s better than seeing a film? Sitting back, relaxing and being immersed into another world. I don’t know about you, but for me (an American girl living in Italy) a movie makes me feel right at home. Genoa movie theaters also provide many options for movies in original sound, so there’s no need to worry about the language.

  • – find this American style movie theater right in Porto Antico of Genoa. Here you will find a wide choice of movies (some in English), stadium seating and snacks to keep you full. – hidden down an alleyway, here you will find a much more intimate movie experience. Also showing films in its original language with only two theaters inside.
