Citadel Cinema is the cinema of Victoria, the capital of Gozo, and a handy rainy-day or evening option for anyone staying on the sister island. It occupies a nineteenth-century townhouse in the middle of the town, a few metres up the road from Independence Square, the main square known as It-Tokk, on the way up to the Citadel.
On VisitMalta.co.uk it appears in our directory of cinemas in Malta. For anyone planning a trip across the water, our Gozo guide shows how the island fits together and what else is worth seeing in Victoria.
What the cinema offers
The cinema has been Gozo's main cinema for eighteen years and shows the latest British and American releases, so a UK visitor will recognise most of the titles on the programme. It is in fact a complex of two modern cinemas, with seats that are fire retardant and halls protected by special fire doors.
Between them the two halls hold 298 seats. Two films are projected each day, both starting at 20:30, though weekend timings can vary. Films now showing and coming soon are listed online with trailers, and seats can be booked from the film posters. The cinema also keeps a Facebook page with news, trailers and film information.
Safety is part of the design: the two halls conform to current safety regulations, which matters to parents bringing children and to anyone who has sat in an older cinema abroad. With seating in both halls and a bar and lounge downstairs, the cinema works as a relaxed place to wait for a showing.
Ticket prices, access and facilities
Prices are printed plainly: adults pay €8.50, children up to 11 years pay €5.50, and senior citizens pay €7.50 on Monday to Thursday. That makes an evening at the pictures a modest part of a holiday budget, especially for families.
Both halls can be reached by stairs or lifts. The lift is wide enough for a wheelchair, and the restrooms on every floor have amenities for guests with special needs. On the ground floor there is a well-stocked bar, a lounge and a waiting room where guests can use the internet with printing facilities.
Getting there and parking
Victoria is the hub for Gozo's buses, and the cinema is a short walk from the main square. By car, there is a small parking area up the hill near the Citadel, free parking with no time limit near the bus terminus and parking bays around the main square.
If you are deciding where to base yourself, hotels in Gozo are listed in our accommodation guide, and where to stay in Malta compares the areas of the main island. Visitors flying from the UK can start with our guide to flights to Malta before taking the ferry across.
The Citadel itself, the fortified hilltop above the town, is the main sightseeing draw in Victoria, so many visitors walk up in the late afternoon, have a meal in the town and finish the day with the 20:30 film. A visit rounds off an overnight stay in Gozo and makes a convenient plan for the evening you arrive or the one before you leave.
Making an evening of it
A film at 20:30 sits comfortably at the end of a full day on Gozo. By day you might take a boat trip to the Blue Lagoon on Comino, visit the island's beaches listed in our best beaches in Malta guide, or follow the ideas in our things to do in Malta page. The Malta weather guide helps you choose between a beach day and a cinema evening.
On the main island, the 97Notes entertainment venue is another venue in our directory, and A4 Malta DMC Private Tours and Excursions arranges guided days. To ask about the cinema, use the VisitMalta.co.uk enquiry form on this page and we will pass your message to Citadel Cinema.
