A38 Ship, built from a Ukrainian stone transporter ship has become one of the most sought-after cultural venues in Budapest since its launch in 2003, and stayed to be so during its nearly 20 years of operation. Today we don’t look at it only as if it were a club: in addition to organizing significant concerts and parties, it also hosts exhibitions, literary evenings, corporate and private events, workshops and weddings with all-round service and organization. It is home to 700 programs a year, and thanks to its equipment and crew with decades of experience, is suitable for almost any type of professional events. A38 Ship has repeatedly been declared as the best club in Budapest and the country by musicians and the audience alike.
