Hajdúszoboszló kicks off 2026 on skates: the city’s season-opening Ice Disco lands on January 17, starting at 5:00 p.m. at the Ice Rink on Bethlen St. (Bethlen u.) 2–4. It’s free to enter, and you can rent skates on site, so no excuses—just lace up and glide into the new year under the lights and music. The event is designed as a community night out in the heart of Hungary’s spa paradise, turning a winter evening into a dance floor on ice.
Where to Be and When
The Ice Disco takes over the rink in Hajdúszoboszló on Saturday, January 17, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. Entry is free, keeping the vibe open and family-friendly. The venue is easy to reach in the resort district. If you’re missing gear, skate rental is available right at the rink, so you can show up with nothing but warm layers and a good mood.
Make a Weekend Out of It
If the disco is your main draw but you want a full winter escape, you’re in the right city. Hajdúszoboszló’s resort zone is packed with apartments, guesthouses, and hotels within a few minutes’ walk of the beach complex and the Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő). Many stays sit roughly 400 meters—about a 5-minute walk—from the water, and several places are set in quiet garden neighborhoods prized for silence and calm. From two-person hideaways to four- and five-bed apartments, options are open year-round.
Close to the Action
Prefer to keep it all on your doorstep? Some pensions sit in prime locations near the airport and just 100 meters from the beach entrance, with the Aquapark and the new Extreme Slide Park 400 meters away. The Árpád swimming pool and Hungarospa therapy building are neighbors too, handy if you’re coming for treatments as well as fun. For a homier touch, the Alice Apartment House opened in 2010 and blends a family feel with a quiet setting near the beach, thermal baths, and Aqua-Palace. Another apartment house sits a comfortable 5-minute walk from the world-famous baths—calm, tucked away, and made for a rest-after-splash routine.
Pick Your Street, Pick Your Stay
You’ll find newer apartments along Kölcsey and Major Streets, just 100 to 200 meters from the beach entrance—close enough to wander over in slippers. Restaurants, a market, and various grocery shops are within arm’s reach. One apartment house, opened in June 2009 in the spa district, sits 200 meters from the beach and just 150 meters from the bus station, making arrivals a breeze. Prefer off-street quiet? A guesthouse tucked into a cul-de-sac offers zero through traffic, free courtyard parking, and a shared breakfast kitchen, welcoming guests all year.
Right in the Heart of It
Some accommodations place you in the center of Hajdúszoboszló, only a few minutes’ walk from the spa. If you’re after a little luxury, the Evelin Apartment sits about 200 meters from the baths and adds a private pool in the courtyard, a small indulgence after a chilly spin around the rink.
Hotel Comfort, Spa Proximity
For hotel-and-restaurant convenience, one standout property sits in Eastern Hungary’s tourism triangle, in Hajdúszoboszló itself. The city is known across Europe for its therapeutic waters used in both bathing and drinking cures. The hotel is 300 meters from the Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő) entrance and 500 meters from the city center—close enough to walk everywhere in minutes, whether you’re heading to the disco or chasing steam in the thermal pools.
Eats With a Sense of Place
When the skating’s done, the city’s dining scene leans into tradition with modern flair. Kemencés Csárda in Hajdúszoboszló channels the spirit of the old roadside inns of the Great Hungarian Plain, updating heritage flavors for today. Its menu and interiors reflect the values of earlier generations, preserved and retold for locals and travelers alike. Across from the spa, the Lorena Restaurant brings a romantic yet elegant style to a popular hospitality complex—ideal for a post-rink warm-up dinner.
Easy Walks, Quiet Nights
The Major Pension and Restaurant, plus its apartments, sit in the resort zone of the famous spa town. You’re an easy 8-minute stroll from the winter entrance to the spa and 2 minutes from the summer entrance—so no matter the season, you can drift between hot water and cold air with minimal effort. Many properties emphasize serene surroundings despite the central locations: think restful nights, morning walks to the baths, and afternoons drifting between outdoor pools and sauna zones.
Plan Your Ice Disco Night
So here’s the play: arrive in the early evening, rent skates if you need them, and let the music and lights turn the rink into your dance floor. Then warm up in a nearby restaurant or wander back to an apartment just a few blocks away. With free entry and easy access to Hungary’s most famous spa complex, the Ice Disco in Hajdúszoboszló is a winter night out with all the extras right next door.
