Allianz Cinema is located right at the beautiful lake of Zurich. Unfortunately there is no parking space available around Zurichhorn. It’s best to walk or cycle here. It’s also easy to get here by public transport. You can find all your travel information here.
Babies and children
Please check our age ratings. We’re happy to make an exception for babies, but we ask our visitors to be responsible – please ensure that your little one does not disrupt the screening.
Accessible cinema
Wheelchair accessibility
Great cinema is accessible to all. Allianz Cinema has a disabled toilet and wheelchair spaces. Book tickets for your preferred film night in advance and then send an email to care@cinerent.com detailing the film, location and date you’ve booked tickets for, as well as the number of accompanying persons and (if necessary) required wheelchair spaces.

Film-goers may not picnic or bring their own food or drinks. Our catering partners thank you for your understanding and hope you enjoy our truly cinematic experience for your taste buds.
Vegan & vegetarian options

Popcorn
You won’t find popcorn here. Why? Because our cinema is outdoors and popcorn scattered on the ground attracts birds and other non-paying creatures.
