Summer days are long in Berlin, and the locals like to spend as many waking hours as they can out in the warm air doing fun activities like drinking tall glasses of Hefeweissen in beer gardens, sunbathing by a swimming pool set inside the River Spree, and watching movies. In fact, there are no less than nine open-air cinemas scattered around the city. Here are a few that are showing English-language movies this summer, and are really easy to reach from The Westin Grand, Berlin.

Five stops on the S-Bahn from Friedrichstrasse will get you to Warschauer Strasse, where just around the corner the Open-Air Cinema Island at Cassiopeia is showing current hits like Vicky Christina Barcelona, documentaries like Spraymasters, and classics like The Wizard of Oz. In a leafy park behind a brick church, Open-Air Cinema Kreuzberg is a ten minute taxi ride from the hotel. One of the city's oldest open-air cinemas, it includes a bar and shows films every night through August. Harold and Maude screens June 1, Slumdog Millionaire, June 6, Burn After Reading, June 12, and The Wrestler, June 24. Five minutes on the U-Bahn, followed by seven on the bus, gets you to Open-Air Cinema Hasenheide where you can cozy up on a long wooden bench and watch Juno and Into the Wild under the stars. What a fun way to spend a summer night. Do you have an open-air cinema in your city that you love?
