The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Centrum
Amsterdam’s buzzing hub, with its sprawling network of tram rails and a seemingly constant flow of tourists and commuters, yields convenient access to some of the best sightseeing, shopping, and street life in Europe. Closest at hand are the Royal Palace, the quaint shops of Haalremmerdijk, the pedestrianized zones Kalverstraat and Dam Square with popular neighborhoods such as the Red Light District, and the Canal Ring hardly more than a moment’s stroll away. With the well-connected Centraal Station as Centrum’s base, it's easy to travel farther afield via one of the city’s iconic trams.

    A Hidden Gem
    We happened upon this theater by chance when we ate at a local restaurant. Did not even realize it was a theater. The staff was extremely helpful in assisting us to navigate the schedule. The gentleman who helped us even allowed us to change our movie selection/time. The interior of the theater is just amazing and beautifully appointed. The film was in it's original English with Dutch subtitles. It was extremely comfortable and worth every penny spent.

    The most beautiful cinema in the world
    This is a stunning cinema in a converted old theatre with gorgeous red velvet seating, both individual and double seats as well as boxes. We paid €25 each for a box, a free snack and drink and a great view of the big screen. Simply one of the best cinemas I have ever been to.

    Beautiful!!!
    I like to come here sometimes for a movie. This building which was opened in 1921 has a façade with a combination of the Art Deco, Jugendstil and the Amsterdams School styles. It is certainly worth taking a quick look inside, for free, just to admire the breathtakingly beautiful foyer, even if one does not actually have the time for a movie✌✌✌

Impressive old building and comfortable old lounge type seating (doubles for couples) with lovely art deco lights at each armrest, giving a real old world effect. I’d like to go back and check out some of the other theatre rooms.

Well worth a visit to look around an extraordinary place, a must if you enjoy art deco and art nouveaux and the VIP lounge was lovely.

Tuschinski is a beautiful theatre, however I was disappointed (and disgusted) to have to leave before the movie had even begun. Not only did I see about a half dozen mice scavenging for food in the aisles, one of them actually JUMPED ONTO MY SEAT to try and get to my popcorn. I immediately left and informed the cashier who told me that I am not the first person to complain about this, however I was refused a refund of my ticket. Instead, I received a voucher to go an see another movie in their mouse-infested venue. Very disappointed in the way this was handled as this is clearly a health & safety issue.

I’ve watched hundreds of movies in theaters across the world and this is by far the most beautiful I have ever encountered. Each room, wall, chair, and ceiling is ornately decorated with such a wonderful style and character that reminds you of the golden era of early 20th century fine furnishing. Marble staircases lead you to wood furnished rooms and comfortable love seats which make you feel like you’re at home. I don’t know if I’ve ever been more comfortable in a theater and the grand screen in the middle of the theater is a sight to behold. If you’re looking for a place to watch a movie you can’t pass up this experience.

It is well worth visiting Tuschinski theatre if you are in Amsterdam. You can do an audio tour in the mornings but we decided to see a film there. We chose balcony seats which included a drink and snack. This was one of my favourite places I visited in Amsterdam.

Beautiful cinema, great seats and very luxurious feel. There is also a bar in the cinema, and the theatres are very spacious.

One of the most beautiful cinemas that I visited. One of the cinemas within the building has tables connected to each seat and a small lamp on it that is lit before the screening. Once the screening starts the lamps are turned off. You can bring a glass of wine from the cinema's bar and take it with you inside of the screening room. Very romantic little screening room, but this is only one of the screening rooms within Tuschinski.
