Location & Hotel

Location - online

We are planning the 2021 Cirque du Swing Intensive as online event - we will send the login for the live- stream to all those registered for the event.

Location - in case a physical event is permitted

In case we are allowed to dance at the studio again in July, there will be limited spots available and you can upgrade to participate at the studio. In any case, there will always be a live-stream. Prior to upgrading, please check your local as well our local restrictions on travel as well als laws and rules regarding Corona. We will notify you here and on social media as well as via e-mail if you have already registered, if there will be the upgrade possibility.

If we are allowed to come back to the studio, the location is the Hep Cat Club at, Viktoriastraße 3B, 86150 Augsburg.

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.

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? Please check the local Covid policies and regulations, restrictions may apply, currently FFP2 masks are mandatory (as of January 15th).

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“.

Please check the opening hours, some of them are closed on Sundays or close early!

Please check their Covid policies prior to visit.


Airport

The closest airport is Franz-Josef-Strauß Airport in Munich (MUC). From there take the public transportation to Munich central station and a train to „Augsburg Hauptbahnhof“ (Augsburg central station). From the Airport in Stuttgart (STR) there is a very cheap flixbus connection to Augsburg. Interesting flight options can be found from Memmingen Airport (FMM) by choosing Ryanair or Wizzair for example.

All of the airports above are between 60 - 90 minutes away from Augsburg by car and they have reasonable connections - between 90 to 120 minutes travelling time - by train or bus as well.

Please check the Covid policies of airports ans airlines and on their websites as well as your local and our local Covid regulations before booking and travelling.

Hotels

There are many hotels nearby, for example the Ibis Hotel Hauptbahnhof or the InterCity 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. Please check their Covid policies and on their websites as well as your local and our local Covid regulations before booking and travelling.

Hostels

Our students also recommended the HostelHotelHome nearby. It’s a very nice and much cheaper option. Especially the breakfast should be amazing there! Located in the city center, around 5-10 minutes walking distance. We can also recommend to stay at the Grandhotel Cosmopolis. It’s a very special place in Augsburg: at the same time hostel, hotel and home for refugees and every room is designed by an artist. They also have the concept „Pay as much as you can“. Please check their Covid policies and on their websites as well as your local and our local Covid regulations before booking and travelling.

Food & Drinks

In case the Covid-situation permits us to come back to the studio to dance in July, 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.
