KristĂĄly Cultural & Conference Venue
Budapest cityâs newest cultural, gastro and community space was born in the heart of the Margaret-island which is located in the completely renovated building of the former mineral water bottler factory. It is a scene for exciting art cult productions (eg. theatre, dance, concert, children activities) for sports fans and people seeking health-conscious life. KristĂĄly is an innovative, cool, informal place where you can build a community and which âconnects and recreates peopleâ.
