It will be a welcomed opportunity to interact with friends and colleagues, focusing on issues of importance to improving the lives of hard of hearing persons. These issues include technological, medical, personal and social challenges as well as ways of addressing them and influencing public policy to advance the rights of hard of hearing people.
As part of the Congress, IFHOH’s Biennial General Meeting will occur on the 22nd of September along with the Annual General Meeting of the European Federation of Hard of Hearing People. As well, the International Federation of Hard of Hearing Young People will hold its Annual General Meeting during the Congress.
The program will include social events and opportunities for connecting together with other hard of hearing persons, family members, professionals and corporate participants.

BUDAPEST
Often described as the „Little Paris of Middle Europe”, Budapest is famous not only for the monuments reflecting its own 1,000-year-old culture, but also for the relics of others who settled here. Remains from both Roman occupation and much later ruled by the Turks can still be seen in the city. After the Ottoman Empire the union with Austria has a particular influence on the city’s form and style.
The capital has two sides, Buda and Pest, stretching along the banks of the Danube, representing two different characters of the city.
Suburban Buda and its historic castle district offer medieval streets and houses, museums, caves and Roman ruins. The dynamic Pest side boasts the largest parliament building in Europe, riverside promenades, flea markets, book stores, antique stores and café houses.
Budapest has a lot to offer. Museums and galleries, churches and synagogues, palaces and historic buildings, baths and pools are presented together with the influence of Secession in the city.
There is an unmistakable feeling that something out of the ordinary is just around the corner, but what it will be is up to you to find out…
USEFUL INFO
How to get to the conference venue, the
Ensana Thermal Hotel Margaret Island ****?
Air
All participants arriving at ‘Liszt Ferenc’ International Airport (formerly known as Ferihegy Airport) are advised to take the airport shuttle minibus to their hotels; this is the least expensive and most reliable service.

Taxi
A high quality and fair passenger carrier service is running at Liszt Ferenc Airport, fotaxi.eu whose fares are defined and limited by zones. Efficient and simple taxi ordering procedure characterizes this taxi company. The price is appr. 30 EUR from Airport to the hotel.

Car
Budapest can be reached by car on motorways M1, M3, M5 and M7. Drivers should be aware that there is a zero tolerance of blood alcohol level while driving in Hungary.
Take any motorway in the direction of Budapest City Centre than on the Arpad híd ( Arpad bridge turn to Margitsziget (Margaret Island) – turn left onto the parking lot and continue to the hotel.
Parking is available at an open air parking area at the Hotel Helia, for 10 Euro/ day. Parking in the city centre is subject to fees.
CURRENCY AND MONEY
The Hungarian currency is the forint (Ft and HUF). If you want to exchange your currency to forint, always do so at an official exchange office. Never exchange money on the streets with random strangers, since this is prohibited by law.
There are ATMs on almost every corner in Budapest. Money withdrawal from ATMs is in forint.
All major credit and debit cards (MasterCard, Visa, etc.) are accepted.
Exchange rate: 1 EUR = 400 HUF
Tipping:
There’s no general rule, but 10% of the final price is usually expected in restaurants, pubs, cafés and taxis. There are restaurants where the service fee is already included in the price, so check the bill before tipping. Be careful about saying “Thank you!” when paying. If you say it while handing over the money, this is informally taken to mean that you don’t expect any change to be given back.
FAST FACTS
Time zone:
Hungary is in the Central European Time Zone (GMT+1).
Internet:
Most hotels/hostels include Internet facilities as part of their service (it’s usual, but not always free of charge). Cafés, pubs, and restaurants usually offer free Wi-Fi Internet access. There’s a free Wi-Fi service on Intercity trains and selected bus lines.
Electricity:
Hungary uses 220 volts AC and the European-style plug (two circular metal pins). If your appliance has a 120/240-volt switch, all you will need is a plug adapter – otherwise, a current converter is required.
Pay attention to sockets in bathrooms and on trains marked „Shavers Only”. While these put out 110 volts, they will burn out with a more powerful appliance.
Smoking:
Smoking is NOT permitted inside the Congress buildings or at the venues for the social functions. Smokers are required to smoke outdoors in the designated area.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT

EU citizens over 65 years are allowed to travel for free on the vehicles of the public transport.

If you are not familiar with the city, it is easiest to get around by a taxi cab. Budapest has a single, uniform taxi service policy. It mandates every taxi company to use distinctive yellow cars and charge uniform fares. All vehicles must provide the option to pay by bank card.
