AKVÁRIUM

In 2012, the club that had previously been called Gödör became - after a serious facelift and many upsets - the Akvárium. Gödör (literally, the "hole"), Budapest's nightlife mecca, had taken over the vacant space left by the aborted construction of the national theater. A staircase descends under the large Erzsébet square (very popular with partygoers in summer), from which one can see the pools. There are several concert halls inside, and the program is sophisticated. Akvárium, which has become more "trendy" and less alternative, attracts the top names.
