Because Rome always surprises us and its grandeur allows you to explore little-known realities. There is never a dull moment in the Eternal City.
The Children’s Cinema
Inside the beautiful park of Villa Borghese is the world’s smallest cinema. Did you know.

The House of Cinema.
This place dedicated to cinema is located inside Villa Borghese and a short distance from Via Veneto. The Casa del Cinema is open daily and allows visitors to see many of the films that have made Italian cinema famous throughout the world.

We recommend this cinema for those who want to have the comfort of home outside. In fact, “in UCI Luxe cinemas every seat is VIP thanks to reclining seats, a personal table and more space between rows.” UCI Luxe is located in the C/o Maximo Shopping and has 7 theaters. You’ll feel like you’re on your living room couch.
Where: Via Laurentina 865, 00143 – Rome.
Apollo 11
This cinema within walking distance of the Vittorio Emanuele metro stop offers documentaries and international independent films. Apollo 11 is an intimate and welcoming facility, some call it much more than a cinema: a place where debate is always alive and where there is a chance to chat with other people about issues of common interest. In short, cinema that unites and shortens distances. Events are organized periodically, such as one dedicated to poetry. You can keep up to date on the cinema’s Facebook page.
Where: Via Bixio, 80 /A, 00185 – Rome.
