“‘Központ’ in Hungarian means the center. It is in the center of the city (Madách square, near Deák square) which is the center of parties and meetings, or you can have just a cup of coffee after a long day. Also, we had a few afterparties there, cause Akvárium club is quite close.” – Ivan & the Parazol
