happy hours
At the end of the milongas you can take home your caps and bring it back cleaned for the next milonga. Or if you leave it at the location, we will clean them and you can choose another one for the next milonga session.
During every milonga session we will randomly announce happy hour period, while we will serve FREE drinks.
Vine, beer, prosecco, simple cocktails (gin tonic, aperol spritz), sorts of shots, soft drinks will be available for free during 2-3 tandas.
For environmental reasons, we will provide our special marathon reusable plastic caps for you. Please use these caps during the whole event. Also during the happy hours, please bring your cap to the bar, we will serve your drink into it.
FOOD
Food is NOT included in the marathon package.
GRILL DINNER
Preferences are very different for everyone, and Budapest has a lot to offer in gastronomy as well. You will find many nice bistros and restaurants - even in Margaret Island, during the summertime.
However eat together with maratonians give extra possibilities to get to know each other better and make new friendships.
For this reason we will offer GRILL DINNER option at the location right after the afternoon milongas.
You will be able to buy your dinner ticket at the bar.
SNACKS
During the milongas, fruits, vegetables, salty and sweet snacks, tea and tap water will be available for free. Please be reasonable and think about the others as well when serve yourself at the snacks table. It's not instead of main meals, but to get a bite or two between two dances.
BAR
There is a bar in the front of the main door, where you'll be able to buy alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages and simple street food during the whole period of the event.
Accommodation
Budapest offers many different types of accommodations. As our location is in the heart of the city, you can find your perfect bed which fits to your needs and budget. We suggest to look for accommodation in the XIII. district of Budapest.
The closest and cheap option is
Island Hostel
The Hostel is located about 250 m from the venue. It has a special atmosphere to sleep on the island, in the nature far from the traffic and other buildings.
The hostel has bunkbeds in 6-10 persons dormitory rooms. Every room has a separate bathroom and toilet. The hostel has a common kitchen and a big terrace with view to the river.
It is better to book your spot online as soon as possible, because in August the hostel is usually completely full.
Mention that you are coming to the tango marathon, so they will try to put tango people into the same rooms.
