Cinemas & movie theatres in The Hague

Going to the cinema (bioscoop means movie theatre in Dutch) to watch a movie is one of the most popular forms of entertainment for both locals and expats in the Netherlands. The country boasts over 150 regular cinemas, as well as film theatres, art houses and open-air cinemas.

From luxurious cinemas with lavish seating and meal service that show the latest blockbusters to small and cosy movie theatres that offer a select range of independent arthouse films, the Netherlands offers cinemas to suit every mood and film enthusiast.  

Looking for an extra special cinema to wow your romantic date or to impress your friends from abroad with? Visit Pathé Tuschinski in Amsterdam (an iconic and historical theatre in the heart of Amsterdam), Louis Hartlooper Complex in Utrecht (located in a former police station, offering a unique variety in films) or DOT in Groningen (the only 3D dome theatre in the Netherlands). 

Luckily, expats and tourists don’t have to worry about not being able to understand the movies shown in cinemas in the Netherlands, as they are generally subtitled (in Dutch) and not dubbed. 

Here is a list of the most popular movie theatres and cinemas in the Netherlands.
