When visiting Europe, travelers may be in the mood for a movie, but not want to waste two hours sitting in a stuffy theater when they could be out exploring. Fortunately, visitors to Germany can experience the best of both worlds when they pick up a car rental in Munich and make their way to the city square of Königsplatz for the Kino Open Air cinema.

At this event, which is set to take place in July, movie lovers can visit this neo-classical square and enjoy some of the year’s best movies outdoors. In 2011, Kino Open Air screened acclaimed films such as The King’s Speech, The Social Network and Black Swan, popular films like the Hangover 2, as well as German pictures such as Almanya – Willkommen in Deutschland.

In addition to engaging films, attendees will find a few classics, shorts and entertainment off the screen in the form of magicians. Food and drink will be served as well, but some travelers may want to take advantage of Kino Open Air’s VIP lounge, which has been a fixture at these showings in recent years.

After the credits stop rolling, travelers may want to take their car rental in Germany for a spin around the museum and gallery quarter, which is quite close to Königsplatz.
