#2 Club Heaven Budapest

Club HEAVEN pays homage in the heart of Budapest, on Deák Ferenc Street. The club is mostly frequented by a younger audience. It does not favor a single music style. On Fridays, you can party to reggaeton, R’n’B, and Latin house tunes, while on Saturdays, top hits and mainstream music dominate the dance floor. Whether it’s the wild joy of the latest hits, the pulsating beat of hip-hop, the sensuality of Latin melodies, or the captivating energy of the top 40 hits, the resident and guest DJs ensure that you keep moving all night long. The club’s atmosphere encourages stylish attire, but instead of a strict dress code, the emphasis is placed on a fashionable appearance.
