Zita

Zita is a movie theater in Östermalm with three screening halls of varying sizes, the largest seating around 140 people while the smaller ones accommodate approximately 40 and 30 viewers. The rooms are designed with audience comfort in mind and support different types of film presentations.

The cinema opened in 1913 and has remained the oldest continuously operating movie theater in Stockholm ever since. Over many decades, the building underwent multiple changes while maintaining its function as a place for screening films.

Zita holds an important place in Stockholm's film community, showing works that celebrate independent creators and world cinema alongside Swedish productions. The space draws people who appreciate films beyond mainstream releases and gather here to discuss cinema in a relaxed setting.

You can purchase tickets at the box office, which opens before the first screening and closes shortly after the final show. Arriving early gives you time to explore the space and choose a good seat.

The complex houses the Bongo Bar, where visitors can enjoy food and drinks before and after screenings. This addition makes the venue a place to linger rather than just watch a film.
