If you're looking for an all-night party in Budapest on 31st December, well, you're in luck! Both Pest and Buda will be buzzing with events, offering loads of options to let loose. Sing your heart out at Gólya’s karaoke night, let the kids enjoy a techno party at Akvárium, or join the queer celebration aboard the A38.

1. Szpot.

Ring in the New Year at Szpot, where a vibrant celebration awaits on the last night of the year. Expect house-party vibes with a lineup of live music acts and delicious dishes for those more tempted by bold flavours than the dance floor. Surprises are in store throughout the evening, so rally your crew and prepare for an action-packed night on Bartók Béla út.

2. Akvárium Klub

Celebrate New Year's Eve in downtown Budapest at Akvárium with a mix of music and vibes. Things kick off in the afternoon with the PomPom Party, where DJ Crimson keeps it cool with kid-friendly techno and house in the KisHall, while Hruscsov brings goa and trance beats in Lokál. Later on, the Necc Party takes over the NagyHall, serving up the biggest hits from the 2000s. Across the other stages, you can dive into the bangers from the 2010s along with classic retro and movie anthems for a proper nostalgic night.
