Hajdúszoboszló’s Rock Café is rolling out a loud, lively finish to 2025 with a run of concerts that keep the town’s weekends buzzing. Set at 4200 Rákóczi St. 119. (Rákóczi u. 119.), the venue doubles as the local home of rock, where the genre’s rebellious spirit still finds a place to breathe. It’s where young energy and seasoned fans meet, where the music aims straight at your life and mood, and where live sets keep the vibe high. If you’re in the famed spa town, this is your go-to stage for guaranteed good sound and a late-night atmosphere.
Three Nights, Three Headliners
December 27 brings Bogi Nagy (Nagy Bogi) to Rock Café for a year-end concert in Hajdúszoboszló. Expect a closing-night feel with a local twist as the singer wraps up the calendar with a set built for a packed room.
On December 28, LMEN PRALA AND THE BAND (LMEN PRALA és a Banda) take over, bringing a band-driven show that leans into rhythmic punch and crowd connection. One night later, on December 29, Triász step in with a concert that taps into big, melodic rock traditions, perfect for fans who like their choruses booming and their guitars cutting through. Three back-to-back nights, one venue, and a clear brief: go loud before the new year lands.
Stay Close: Apartments Near the Action
If you’re making a weekend of it, plenty of nearby stays keep you within easy walking distance. One holiday house sits about 400 meters from the beach complex—roughly a 5-minute walk—and offers four separate upstairs apartments: two for two people, one for four, and one for five. It’s built for year-round guests who want quiet in the garden district, with the bonus that the Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő) and Béke Baths (Béke) are just a few minutes away on foot.
Another pension is in a prime spot by the airport, just 100 meters from the main beach and 400 meters from both the Aquapark and the newer Extreme Slide Park. The Árpád Pool (Árpád) and the Hungarospa therapy building are neighbors too, making it ideal if you’re pairing gigs with treatments—massages, therapies, and the full wellness checklist.
Alice Apartment and Other Calm Corners
Alice Apartment (Alice Apartman) opened in 2010 and sits in a quiet stretch near the thermal baths, the beach, and the Aqua-Palace. It’s a family-style apartment house close enough for quick dashes to the pools and far enough for calm nights. Elsewhere in the resort quarter, more apartments lie within a comfortable 5-minute stroll of the world-famous baths, tucked into peaceful streets where you can recharge between shows and spa visits.
You’ll also find modern builds on Kölcsey and Major streets, just 100 to 200 meters from the beach entrance, and surrounded by restaurants, a market, and grocery shops. Another apartment house, opened in June 2009, sits 200 meters from the beach and only 150 meters from the bus station, in a quiet corner of the resort center.
Guesthouses for Easy Living
There’s a guesthouse on a dead-end street where even through traffic won’t disturb you. Parking is free in the yard, and there’s a shared breakfast kitchen inside. It’s open year-round, like many spots in town. One more central option sits in the heart of Hajdúszoboszló, just a short walk to the spa—ideal if you want to bounce between Rock Café and hot pools without a car.
Comfort, Pools, and a Little Luxury
Apartment Evelin (Apartman Evelin) is a luxury-minded choice about 200 meters from the baths, with its own private pool waiting in the courtyard. A nearby hotel and restaurant sits in the tourism triangle of Eastern Hungary, just 300 meters from the Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő) entrance and 500 meters from the town center. The spa’s healing waters are famous across Europe, used for both bathing and drinking cures.
Another landmark: Major Pension and Restaurant (Major Panzió és Étterem) with its apartments, tucked into the calm side of the spa zone. You’re eight minutes on foot from the winter entrance and two minutes from the summer entrance to the baths—timed perfectly for a quick dip before the show.
Family Hotels with Wellness
One of the area’s larger hotels offers 107 rooms and a full wellness wing, with options from classic doubles and triples to 2+2 family apartments, rooms with bunk beds, and suites that skew luxe. Expect color TVs, minibars, phones, in-room safes, bathrooms with toilets, and, for some rooms, air conditioning and balconies. Ideal for families chasing both spa time and nightlife.
Eat Well: From Csárda Classics to Cocktails
Kemencés Csárda brings tradition into the present, inspired by the old roadside inns of the Great Hungarian Plain. The menu and interior are shaped around preserving and reimagining those values for today’s guests, Hungarian and international alike. Across the street from the Thermal Spa (Gyógyfürdő) you’ll find the Lorena Restaurant (Lorena Étterem), a romantic, elegant spot that’s grown into a guest favorite.
The renovated Mirage restaurant invites families, friends, and partners to a refreshed interior, a cozy pálinka wall, seasonal menus, and service that keeps things personal. Elsewhere, a stylish restaurant–café hybrid layers a broad drink list over a menu of meals and desserts, with 13 types of rooms upstairs for everyone from business travelers to couples and families. Rooms come with either bathtubs or shower cabins, sprinkled with a refined sense of elegance.
Grills, Terrace Vibes, and Sweet Breaks
Nr. 8 is a friendly pick right in the spa zone—drop by day or night, with family or friends, and choose from classic plates or special grilled dishes. Don’t skip the seasonal terraces: a summer–winter setup runs from April to late November, and the nearly 80-seat gazebo is one of the largest in town, pouring cocktails and warming drinks for strolling guests.
Craving something simple and sweet? One spot sits just a minute from the Hungarospa entrance, serving savory and sweet crêpes, creative lemonades, cocktails, coffee specialties, and handmade ice cream.
Simple Stays, Solid Perks
A pension only 50 meters from the spa offers a calm, family feel at modest rates, with two double rooms and eight four-bed rooms, each with a French bed and unique décor. The spacious rooms with balconies come with private bathrooms, TVs, and fridges. Continental breakfast is generous and varied in the on-site restaurant, and there’s free, gated parking for drivers.
