Te city offering many possibilities for cultural and social life. It has a lot of nature around it, as well as a special geographical placement, being situated near other capitals.. All of these four cities have a good connection between each other.

In 2012, the centre had to move from it’s former location in a state-owned space and decided to convert an old gym in the former YMCA building to a theatre and concert hall.

There are taking place electronic art events, theater performances and concerts of both local and international innovative musicians (experimental, cutting-edge, alternative, contemporary classical...).
