The Apollo Kino is the central location for the Dutch Mountain Film Festival in Aachen. The cinema is close to the one of Aachen’s famous medieval gates, the Ponttor, at the heart of the city’s thriving nightlife scene. The famous cathedral and town hall, dating back to the time of Charlemagne, are within easy walking distance.

Food and drink

During the festival, Apollo Kino converts its bar into a special ‘Bergstube’. ​
There are countless restaurants, eateries and cafes in the vicinity of Apollo Kino.​
