If your visit of Budapest is interrupted by rain, you can escape into museums, galleries or, well cinemas. Multiplexes found in shopping malls mainly screen Hollywood blockbusters. The biggest multiplexes are operated by Palace Cinemas. Their most convenient multi-screen cinema for visitors of Budapest is in West-End City Center. For other locations and schedules visit Palace Cinemas website. You can book tickets online, but carefully check whether the film you would like to catch is screened in the original language unless you would like to amuse yourself by listening to Al Pacino speaking Hungarian.
Art film fans should check smaller cinemas scattered all over Budapest screening dazzling selection of non-Hollywood films. Tickets for smaller cinemas are considerably cheaper compared to multiplexes but some of the theatres are in a very bad state.
