Budapest
Kizomba Connection
Venue - Európa Ship
Our venue this year is a very special and unique venue... It is the biggest event boat of Europe! One big room with perfect wooden dancefloor, and 2 smaller rooms plus a huge sundeck (300m2) waiting for you - the venue of our afternoon socials that we call Sundeck Social -, and also a well equipped restaurant and bar to serve the lunches, dinners and the coctails during the nights - with professional staff! And if this is not special enough, you will also have the chance to enjoy the incredible Danube Kizomba Cruise, as on Saturday night the boat is going to sail out on the rivers of the Danube while we dance the night away...
All our classes on Saturday and Sunday will take place at the same venue as the Friday & Saturday & Sunday Parties. Lunch and dinner will be served at the venue on the days of workshops for decent prices, more info coming soon! Perfect dancefloor and air condition is of course guaranteed!
Workshops & Parties all on board!
Our boat is anchored very near to Batthyányi Square, which is accessible with Metro line 1, and trams and buses during the day.
During the workshops and parties it stays anchored, but on Saturday Night between 23-01h the ship will be out on the river during the cruise! So if you don't want to miss this amazing cruise, you have to arrive to the party before 22:30! Otherwise you will just find the empty harbor and will have to wait until we return.. ;) (no joke, last year some people missed the cruise for arriving too late)
Address: I. district Szilágyi Dezső square harbor
HOW TO GET THERE?
From our official hotel the ship is only a 5 minute walk away on the riverside. We advise booking our official hotel not only because it's near, but because it is probably the best location in Budapest with a view on the Parlament and the river, and also in walking distance to the Castle district and the Margaret Island, some of the most beautiful sights of the city.
In case you choose to stay further from our venue:
Public Transport
To use the public transport you need to purchase a single ticket (around 1 eur), or if you are travelling together with friends we advise you to take a group day ticket which costs around 10 euros and is available for 24 hours for 5 persons travelling together! You can not enter the metro without a valid ticket, however you can get on the trams and buses without control, but any times controllers can come so have your tickets ready (and if you don't like risks, validate them too lol)
UBER
Unfortunately Uber doesn't operate in Hungary. But! We do have Taxify (Bolt)! :) Download the app and use our code BBXN1 to get a discount on your first ride! It is the easiest solution to travel around in town, and the drivers are all taxi drivers, with official yellow taxi cars! Completely trustful, much easier than hunting for a cab on the streets, and also cheaper.
TAXI
Taking a taxi in Budapest is affordable. You can call any company or just wave a cab at the street - they are going to charge the same as we have a new system that makes all companies charge the same amount/kilometre and they are all painted yellow! But ATTENTION! There are pirates out there who don't have any company name or phone number on the car, NEVER travel with them, because they will charge you 3-10 times more!! The ride to any hotels in the centre should cost around 2000 HUF and not more. (6-8 euros)
