📍 Summer Cinema

About the venue

Letní kino sits in the Park kultury a oddechu and ranks among the largest open-air venues in the Czech Republic, with seating for 5,000 spectators - 3,500 of them under cover. The distinctive steel roof was designed by architect Josef Slíva as an 80-metre arch that hangs freely on one side without any supports; it was built in 1969-1971. The site replaced an earlier amphitheatre from 1951, and in 1967 the folk festival Porta was founded here. Today the venue is run by the city's Kulturní středisko and used mainly for large concerts and events.
