Location & Hotel
Location
The XmaSwing Festival is hosted by Hep Cat Club, our studio is located at Viktoriastraße 3B, 86150 Augsburg, Germany. Workshops and parties will take place here. Only the Thursday Warm Up party will not take place at the studio.
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.

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!

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 swing and dance Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz. 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. We'll offer a platform where you can find your travel buddies. Parking is possible at the garage of Helio. Free Parking is possible at the Plärrer. From there you can walk to the Hep Cat Club within 20minutes or take the tram (14 minutes).
Hosting
We try to offer you hosting, because we all know that community is an important value of the culture. We want you to get to know our local community. We will offer a hosting list for you, where you can search and offer hosting spots.
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.
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.
