Hajdúszoboszló ushers in the holidays with a festive run of Advent concerts in 2025, mixing sacred, classical, pop, and charity performances across multiple venues. Mark the weekend: December 20 brings a Christmas concert at the Reformed Church; December 21 adds another Advent show in town. Expect candlelit music, community choirs, and the kind of winter warmth that only a spa city with a singing soul can deliver.
Key Dates and Venues
On December 20, the Reformed Church in Hajdúszoboszló hosts a Christmas concert, a centerpiece of the Advent program. The following day, December 21, an Advent concert keeps the momentum going at another city location. Keep an eye on updates, as organizers reserve the right to adjust times and programs.
Stay Steps from the Spa
If you’re coming for the music and staying for the waters, you’re in the right place. One holiday house sits just 1,312 feet from the beach-style spa complex, about a five-minute walk. Upstairs you’ll find four separate-entry apartments: two doubles, one for four, and one for five—open year-round and designed for quiet, uninterrupted downtime in the garden district. The famed Medical Spa (Gyógyfürdő) and Béke Baths (Béke fürdő) are just minutes away on foot.
Close to It All
Prefer the bustle? A centrally placed pension stands next to the small airport, 328 feet from the strand and 1,312 feet from both the Aquapark and the new Extreme Slide Park. Nearby, the Árpád Pool (Árpád uszoda) and Hungarospa therapy buildings offer everything from water-based rehab to targeted treatments. Another apartment house in the resort district opened in June 2009, set 656 feet from the strand and only 492 feet from the bus station, yet still quiet and green.
Family-Run Comforts
Alice Apartment (Alice Apartman) opened in 2010, set in a calm pocket near the strand, thermal pools, and the Aqua-Palace. In the holiday quarter, several new-build apartments sit on Kölcsey and Major Streets, roughly 328 feet and 656 feet from the main entrance, with restaurants, a market, and grocery stores at the ready. Another guesthouse sits at the end of a cul-de-sac—no through traffic, free courtyard parking, and a shared breakfast kitchen for easy mornings. Many of these addresses are just a few minutes’ walk from the medical spa complex in the heart of Hajdúszoboszló.
Comfort and a Dip
Evelin Apartment (Apartman Evelin) adds a dash of luxury, just 656 feet from the baths and featuring its own courtyard pool. A nearby hotel-restaurant puts you 984 feet from the Medical Spa (Gyógyfürdő) and 1,640 feet from the city center—prime territory in eastern Hungary’s tourism triangle. Hajdúszoboszló is known across Europe for its curative waters, both in bathing and drinking therapies, drawing guests year-round for wellness and recovery.
Dining With Heart
Kemencés Csárda refreshes Great Plain (Alföld) traditions for today—rustic roots in a modern frame. The team brings old roadside inn culture into the present with a menu and interior that honor the past while meeting contemporary expectations. Across the street from the Medical Spa (Gyógyfürdő), Lorena Restaurant leans romantic and elegant, a popular stop before or after a soak. Major Pension and Restaurant (Major Panzió és Étterem), with its apartments, sits in the spa district but on a calm stretch: eight minutes on foot from the winter entrance, two minutes from the summer gate.
Wellness Hotels and Refined Rooms
A 107-room, family-friendly hotel anchors the resort zone with its own medical and wellness department. Options range from twin and triple rooms to 2+2 family apartments, family rooms with bunks, and suites for a little indulgence. Expect color TVs, minibars, phones, in-room safes, balconies in some rooms, and bathrooms with toilets in all. Another boutique-style property pairs an atmospheric restaurant and patisserie with 13 room types, suited to business travelers, couples, families, and the forever young. Rooms are elegantly finished and meet modern comfort standards, with both bathtub and shower setups available across categories.
Terraces, Crepes, and Cocktails
Nr. 8 serves as a go-to in the spa district—day or night, family or friends—with classic plates, inventive grills, and a terrace designed for all seasons. The nearly 80-seat pergola is among the city’s largest, pouring cocktails and soul-warming drinks from April through late November. Just a minute from the Hungarospa Medical Spa (Hungarospa Gyógyfürdő) entrance, another spot delivers savory and sweet crepes, standout lemonades, cocktails, signature coffees, and artisan ice creams.
Easy Mornings, Easy Parking
For a simple, homey stay, a pension 164 feet from the baths offers two double rooms and eight quadruple rooms with French beds, each with a balcony, bathroom, TV, and fridge. Rates are gentle, the vibe is calm, and the on-site restaurant serves a generous continental breakfast. Drivers get a secure, free parking area. And yes: across the Advent weekend, organizers may change schedules and programs—check back as the music draws near.
