According to Zurich Film Festival, ‘life is better with movies’ and we couldn’t agree more. Running from 3-13 October, the ZFF programme is packed full of screenings and events that highlight the very best in the business. Stay in the elegant Widder Hotel – just a 20-minute walk away from the festival – for fully-equipped, contemporary guest rooms and an uber-stylish onsite bar.

For a touch of Italian charm, head to the Rome Film Festival, which runs from 16-27 October. Held at the magnificent Auditorium Parco della Musica, the festival showcases a mix of mainstream and indie films in an old Hollywood setting.

After enjoying endless screenings and events, retreat to the W Rome for panoramic views across the Eternal City and Sicilian dishes prepared by a Michelin-starred chef.

From 17-29 October, Vienna will transform into a cinematic paradise with Viennale, Austria’s world-famous international film festival. Known for its eclectic mix of independent films, documentaries, and retrospectives showcased in show-stopping venues, the Viennale attracts film-fanatics from across the globe. End your day with a luxurious spa treatment at the Hotel Sacher Wien, an iconic Viennese institution just a short walk from the festival.
