Where and when to go
Classes take place every Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. from October 7, 2025, at the Kállai Ferenc Cultural House (Kállai Ferenc Művelődési Ház) in Gyomaendrőd. The free taster class is highlighted for December 2, 2025, at 5500 Gyomaendrőd, Kossuth Lajos Street (Kossuth Lajos út) 9–11. Follow-up dates include December 9 and December 16. The venue sits close to the town center, easy to reach whether you’re local or traveling in for the evening.
Stay the night: accommodation options
If you’re making a mini getaway of it, Gyomaendrőd offers a surprisingly wide range of places to stay, from simple dorms to classic thermal hotels and riverside cabins.
A 54-bed student dormitory spans two floors with 16 rooms arranged for 2, 3, or 4 guests — a practical choice for groups or budget travelers. For a more outdoorsy feel, head to the campsite by the Hármas-Körös (Triple Körös) River, just 100 meters from the Liget Bath (Liget Fürdő). There you’ll find 11 heated wooden cabins, each hosting up to 8 people, plus designated tent pitches. The site is accessible and sits on the edge of town, halfway between the Liget Bath and the Hármas-Körös, tucked into a shaded acacia grove — ideal for school groups, friends, anglers, or anyone seeking a quiet retreat.
If comfort is your style, the Hárs Thermal Hotel offers 25 rooms furnished in pine, with 2- and 3-bed setups, private bathrooms, TVs, and telephones. Up to 60 guests can settle in, with amenities that include a thermal whirlpool and hydromassage pool, a sauna, a drink bar, and a billiards room — all just minutes from the town center and the Liget Thermal Bath.
The Körös Guesthouse (Körös Panzió) sits in the heart of Gyomaendrőd, a few hundred meters from the Liget Spa, roughly 160 km from Budapest. It caters equally to solo travelers, business groups, families, and tour parties, promising a straightforward, relaxing stay near the action.
For those craving the waterside, the Mezei fishing lodge welcomes guests on the bank of the Soczó-zug oxbow lake, around 0.6 miles from town. It’s a playful, scenic spot that’s perfect if you like to wake up next to the water, rod in hand. Another restful choice is Pájer Camping and Beach in northern Békés County, perched on one of the Körös River’s oxbows. The campground prides itself on a close-to-nature vibe and peace so deep they say even tranquility comes here to rest.
In leafy Erzsébet Promenade (Erzsébet sétány), embraced by branches of the Körös rivers, Pavilon Guesthouse (Pavilon Panzió) offers eight fully renovated double rooms with bathrooms, a landscaped garden, and a secure car park. After refurbishment, it earned a three-star rating, right in the city’s green heart. If you prefer something set apart, 3 km from town an exclusive, 16,145-square-foot building in a nearly five-acre park has been transformed into a guesthouse after a complete 2006 reconstruction, ringed by silver firs — a serene base for unwinding between dances.
Eat, drink, unwind
You won’t go hungry. One local restaurant blends regional specialties and fish dishes with steaks and Bavarian favorites. It’s air-conditioned and doubles as a funhouse: a two-lane automatic bowling alley, classic and pool billiards, plus a foosball table for friendly rivalries after dinner. Another cozy eatery sits on a quiet street just three minutes from the spa, serving local dishes and fish plates in an intimate setting that’s tailor-made for a post-class bite.
Back at Körös Guesthouse (Körös Panzió), you’ll find a setup designed for both individual and group travelers. Whether you’re in town to dance, soak, fish, or just drift, it keeps things easy and central.
Why Salsa and Bachata?
Because they’re social, upbeat, and highly accessible. Salsa energizes with quick footwork and turns; bachata slows the pulse with close connection and lyrical flow. In this course, the focus is on music you already love, patterns you can master in one evening, and a feel-good community that grows week by week. With a free first class and weekly sessions through the season, Gyomaendrőd just gave your Tuesdays a groove.
