Location & Hotel
Location
The 2024 Augsburg Balboa Festival is hosted by Hep Cat Club, our studio is located at Viktoriastraße 3B, 86150 Augsburg, Germany.
The entrance is directly at track 1 of the Augsburg central train station. Here is how to find the entrance: Imagine you step out of a train on track 1., then you go to the left to the next building (Helio Center). The door at the corner ist the entrance, it’s just 3 meters away from the roof of the train station building at track 1. You also see our Hep Cat Club logo there, we are located on the first floor.
You can find a plan on www.hepcatclub.com
City-Zone
Have you heard about the City Zone Augsburg? Within the city center you can use all busses and trains for FREE! Amazing, huh?
Some nice places to visit in Augsburg:
There are many nice places in Augsburg, but often they are a bit hidden, especially when you start at the main train station. Don’t miss to walk through the „Lechviertel - untere Altstadt“. Maybe it’s also interesting to visit the „Fuggerei“ or the famous "Augsburger Puppenkiste".
Please check the opening hours, some of them are closed on Sundays or close early!
Train
The best way to reach us is by train. The Main Station is directly located at the Hep Cat Club. We recommend to come to our festival by train in care of this planet we all love. And just to remind you, it's the only planet where we can dance balboa. You can buy your train tickets to Augsburg at the Deutsche Bahn.
Car
If you are coming by car, we would recommend you to do carsharing. Parking is possible at the garage of Helio. Free Parking is quite tricky to find because we are in the center of the city. If you want to park for free you have to park your car a little bit outside.
Hotels
There are many hotels nearby, for example the Ibis Hotel Hauptbahnhof or the Rugs Hotel, both at the central station and located in walking distance from the event location (3-5 minutes). Our students told us that they loved the Hotel Viktoria right across the street from our dance studio as well.
For a more budget-friendly option, consider the City Hostel/Jakoberhof (20 minutes walking distance).
Food & Drinks
We will have a self-service bar for coffee, snacks, water and fruits. Since the studio is conveniently located at Augsburg main train station and very close to downtown, it is only a short walk to go for lunch or dinner after classes or grab something to eat on the way to the hotel.
