3-DAY MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR

Standalone Tour Ticket for if you bought a ticket without the tour and want to add it later, or want to come only on the tour (from May 29th to May 31st, 2023) 

The Magical Mystery Tour is a 3-day, 4-quadrant event filled with unexpected and delightful twists and turns through the beautiful landscape of Hungary!

You will experience a “stages of consciousness” tour as you journey through magenta, red, amber, orange, green, and teal layers of European and Hungarian culture and local integralists will share with you their individual and collective interiors, their stories about how it is to live here.

Bence Gánti, master tour guide, will introduce you to places and people you most certainly would not have found any other way, and a professional tour guide will fill in the historical details of the cultural and spiritual sites you visit.

Traveling with you on the bus will be 65 conference participants, including keynote speakers, and there will be many opportunities for building community with your fellow journeyers—sharing traditional meals, relaxing in the thermal baths, chatting on the bus, de-steaming and meditating in lush green nature —as well as opportunities to sink into a peaceful, pleasant space of your own while looking out the window or slipping away with your camera to take amazing photos or catch a gold-rose Hungarian sunset.

The itinerary for 2022 is in the making now and will be posted here, in the newsletters and the menus. Till then you can get an idea from looking at last year’s journey! 2022 will be similar, but we will also visit new places.

See the last tour ITINERARY of 2018 here!

Post-Conference 3-Day Integral Sightseeing Tour (May 31th-31st) with fellow integralists through cultural, historical, and spiritual experiences in the Hungarian countryside and the capital city, Budapest 4. Gala dinner. (28th May) A ceremonial finishing touch at the end of the conference gives you a chance to discuss your experience and spend the last evening with friends new and old.  Awesome new itinerary this year!

3. ACCOMMODATION AND FOOD

– Review and Book – 

All hotel prices already include food + tourist tax

What kind of place is the IEC venue?

The IEC venue is called Hotel Azur, a 4-star hotel with around 500 beds, 11 conference rooms, a ballroom with a capacity of 600 people, and 10 other rooms with a capacity of 60 people each for the thematic sections and workshops. It is an awesome place! A spacious, cheerful, clean hotel with a post modern touch to it. The global integral community will “occupy” the whole hotel, and you will go through an unparalleled experience in this week-long “evolutionary holiday!” The hotel is in a Hungarian town called Siófok, one hour west of the airport and  Budapest. Siófok is a prime summer holiday resort town on the shore of Lake Balaton, one of Europe’s biggest (80 km long) sweet water lakes, “The Hungarian Sea.” The grand integral tribe will be together on this tranquil lakeshore (with private access from the garden) in a 20-25 celsius (70-80 F) warm springtime, with blossoming flowers and swaying green trees. The end of May is the most pleasant and romantic time of the year in Central Europe! 

Why is it important to stay together at the conference venue?

Come and stay at the conference hotel with us! When you arrive at the conference, you immediately start to feel the irresistable charm of the integral community buzz, and you most probably won’t want to leave it for other places. We know, from many years of firsthand conferencing experience, how annoying it is if things are happening but we need to go away from the flow every day — just because we thought we’d like to save a few dozen Euros and stay somewhere else. Once at the conference, you will want to experience every hour of it instead of repeatedly going off to another place, where there is no energy and your experience leaks away.

Shall I save money and stay somewhere else?

Do you think it’s worthwhile to walk around town, trying to find cheaper food and lodging, in order to save a few euros but then miss out on being a part of the community flow? We suggest you not stay somewhere else for your own good. You would likely feel sorry that you have to leave, right when it’s really building up steam and you want to be there. All your friends will be going to eat together and you will walk away and out. In the evening, important events happen, but you “need to go home.” You don’t want that experience. This occasion only arises every two years, and well might be the most important peak of your integral life. So we suggest you focus on the essence, be there, and let us take care of your physical needs with our reasonably priced packages.

IEC 2023 Ticket Prices will be posted here.
Our intention is to keep the original IEC 2020 ticket prices, but due to postponement to one year later, we don’t know yet if the service providers (hotel, food, audio equipments, etc) would keep their prices or will adjust. We only adjust if needed as little as needed, due to these factors.

Should you stay elsewhere due to financial need or Hotel Azúr sold out, consider the Alternative Stay Options.

Alternative Stay Options
If you want to stay outside of the IEC venue, Hotel Azúr…

Staying in the hotel has the advantage of being where the action is with the tribe, one of the best experiences that participants keep having reported over the years. Still, you have your own comfortable and quiet room to retreat and rest.
If you can’t afford the hotel, or if you buy tickets later when the Hotel Azúr is sold out we offer other stay options and cheap stay options. Ranging from Azur-like hotel, through 3 start hotels, Airbnb homes, Vacation rentals and shared rooms with IEC-ers in Holiday cottages they come in the High €120-150 / Mid  €80-120 / Budget  €40-80 / Cheap € 20-38 range.

We designated this task to our budget stay coordinator team member Attila, who visited and selected personally all these places! To avoid run-down, former socialist type and ripoff offering that you often find in the area. Attila carefully selected the 100 best alternative and cheaper stay options the closest to Hotel Azur, so that you don’t have to walk more than 1 to 5 minutes to get to the conference. They are closer and might be cheaper than what you find on booking.com or Airbnb, and they are risk-free. Also, language match is arranged!  If you want to book yourself, make sure to check the distance before booking. You might not want to walk two times 20-30 minutes a day on empty streets instead of being part of IEC the buzz, just to save a few bucks.

HOW TO GET THIS OPTION?

Request here

And we will email you soon with options.
You can also do this in the Ticket Shop when selecting your ticket.

Where do I pay for hotel and food?

Scroll above and see Tickets or go directly to the Ticket Shop. You can pay for hotel and food when you buy your ticket to the conference. ALL FOOD AND COFFEE BREAKS are included in the BASIC AND FULL EXPERIENCE TICKETS. Then just arrive at the hotel, check-in at IEC’s registration desk, you get your meal tickets and you are all set! You will get your room, food tickets, coffee break and snacks tickets, and your free spa entry card. Now all your focus can be on the people and the flow.
NO FOOD AND COFFEE is included in the MINIMAL and DAY TICKETS. In that case, you can buy them as extra in the ticket shop or on the venue at the IEC registration desk, or try your luck, leave the hotel and look for eateries (which are limited nearby and basic quality). In this case, part of your precious conferencing time might be gone, to solve this issue.

Too expensive? Ask for a scholarship and get financial support!  – we will help you in

We, the organizers, are enthusiastic about helping, and some donors are offering financial support so that people with less income can also join the conference, instead of trying to stitch it together by trying to stay and eat somewhere else, thereby losing the flow. If you apply for a scholarship, one way we can help is to give you a reduced rate, made up from the donations, and we can even further reduce your costs by offering you cheap, home-style accommodations within 3-5 minutes walking distance from the hotel. These are basic but clean. Our local integral volunteers list the available places to stay, offering them to those asking for scholarships. Scholarship application link here.

4. TRAVEL DETAILS

– How to get there easy and cheap – 

 

IEC will be at Hotel Azur in Siofók town, located at Lake Balaton, approximately 1.5 hours and 135 km (85 miles) driving distance from Budapest and the airport.

How to get there?

The quickest way to get to Hungary is by air, and there is only one airport. It is just outside of Budapest (green marker), and it has a direct highway connection with Siófok (red marker), so it is a smooth and easy drive to Hotel Azur. The best way, therefore, to get to IEC is to take a shuttle van. You can also take public transportation (train or bus), but there is no direct connection, and in this way you would change route 3 times, lasting 3 hours, finishing with a 1.5 km walk while the shuttle is direct and takes 75 minutes.

Usually, we contract a shuttle company that offers IEC shuttles for half the price of the regular airport shuttles with high-quality of service. We plan to contract it again for IEC 2023 to make the journey from airport to IEC venue direct and easy. For Airport IEC-Shuttle options check back later.

Arrival in Budapest by plane

The Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD) is located approximately 25 km from Budapest city center, and 135 km from Siófok, the IEC venue. Cheap flights are available to Budapest from almost every European country. Flights from outside Europe will often transfer at a major airport, such as London Heathrow or Frankfurt, Germany. A flight from Frankfurt typically takes 90 minutes, and one from London or Moscow 2 hours. International flights arrive at Terminal 2.  Taxis and airport shuttles are easily available and are reputable, but run at higher prices than the same-value IEC-organized shuttle.

AVOID money exchange at the airport; they have a tourist ripoff rate. You can withdraw cash (Forints, the local currency) at ATMs at the airport and in many places. The cash exchange rate is much better in the city. Hotel exchange rates are okay, but higher than in the city. You can pay with debit and credit cards in most places (hotels, restaurants, supermarkets). You can’t use Euros or dollars to pay in cash.

Airport transportation information:  

www.bud.hu/english/passengers/access_and_parking

Take the  IEC shuttle!
It is 50% cheaper

After you have signed up, Gábor Segesvári from our team – known mostly at IECs as “The Shuttle Man” – will contact you and confirm your seat and timing. You can pay in the ticket shop in advance and buy your ticket, or pay at the IEC registration desk upon arrival at the hotel in Euros or Forints, unless you buy Full Experience Ticket that includes it automatically!
