Here you will find some information on good student bars and things to do with your free time.

Movies[edit | edit source]

Although not so often, Magdeburgers can enjoy movies in original language in select movie theatres in the city. Look out for the abbreviations written next to the film title at the theatres: "OV" which means Original Version or "OmU" which means Original mit Untertitel. These abbreviations mean that the film will be in the original language.

Cinemaxx[edit | edit source]

You can catch a movie in English on Mondays. Usually the most popular movies are shown in the original language and only once, so keep checking their website to catch your favorite movie. Cinemaxx has reduced ticket prices for students (7.80€ - 10.80€) depending on the seat you select, and they charge 1 euro more if you book the tickets online.

Sometimes they also screen popular Bollywood or other Indian language films.
