A warm summer evening, a good film, and the city in the background – that’s exactly what makes the Salzburg Open-Air Cinema 2026 so special. Instead of sitting in a dark movie theater, you’re outside, feeling the evening air and enjoying films in an atmosphere you won’t forget anytime soon. Every summer, small film oases pop up all around Salzburg: from large squares to hidden locations. Many of them are even free, making for a spontaneous and effortless movie night. Whether you’re local or planning a short trip, summer cinema is one of the most beautiful ways to experience Salzburg from a new perspective.

Right in the heart of the Old Town on the right bank, between Linzer Gasse and Paris-Lodron-Straße, lies the Bruderhof — a complex of buildings with a few centuries under its belt. You walk through the Cornelius-Reitsamer-Passage, step under an archway, and suddenly you’re inside: two courtyards, a bit of shade, lively dining options, and plenty of history.

Salzburg from above? Yes, please. But without a cable car, ticket stress, or an Alpine expedition. The Kapuzinerberg is the perfect proof that you can simply escape into the middle of the city—into forests, history, and quite spectacular views. 640 meters high, located directly on the right bank of the Salzach River, and yet totally relaxed and accessible.
