The cinemas of Śródmieście range from the oldest still-operating cinema hall in Poland to a modern multiplex on Aleja Piłsudskiego - and one hotel where the film theme returns in every detail. This page shows where to watch a film in the centre of Łódź, whether you are looking for arthouse cinema or the line-up of big premieres.
Kino Tatry - the oldest operating cinema in Poland
Kino Tatry on Sienkiewicza Street has been operating since 1907 and still screens films on 35 mm film to this day. This is a rarity nationwide - a cinema with over a century of history that still genuinely functions as a place for an evening screening, not just a monument to be viewed from outside.
The multiplex on Aleja Piłsudskiego
Silver Screen Multikino on Aleja Piłsudskiego has been operating since 2001, initially as Silver Screen, and since 2018 under the Multikino Vue chain. This is the address for big premieres and the line-up of commercial cinema in the city centre.
Intimate screening rooms at the Łódzki Dom Kultury
The Łódzki Dom Kultury (Łódź Cultural Centre) on Traugutta Street has two intimate cinema halls. Kino Szpulka has been operating for over 50 years and shows a European cinema line-up, while Kino Przytulne has been operating since 2014 as a continuation of the former Kino Kameralne. Both halls are a good choice for anyone looking for arthouse cinema, not just box-office premieres.
Hotel Stare Kino - a film atmosphere for the night
Hotel Stare Kino (Old Cinema Hotel) on Piotrkowska Street is housed in a tenement from 1891, where in 1899 the first permanent cinema in Poland opened. It is the only film-themed hotel in the country - worth knowing about, though it is not a cinema to watch a screening in, but a place to stay overnight in a film atmosphere. For a live performance instead of a film, it is also worth checking out the theatres and opera in Śródmieście.
