The heart of the festival is the Tower Genova Airport Hotel & Conference Center, about 500 metres from the Genova airport terminal. This is where all classes take place, in the 5 rooms of the conference centre, together with the Friday and Saturday parties.

You can also stay at the hotel: we have an agreement with the Tower for a discount on rooms. To book, write to congress@towergenova.com saying that you are attending the Garage Hoppers Festival. From your room to the dance floor in one minute, no transport needed.

The farewell party moves into the city centre, to the Giardini Luzzati: an open air square in the heart of the old town, in the Molo district, beneath the bell tower of San Donato.

In the 1990s this was meant to become a car park, but during the works Roman remains were discovered, and today they are part of the square. Since 2012 the space has been run by the social cooperative Il Ce.Sto and has become one of the liveliest meeting places in the city, with a bar, a stage and cultural events that are almost always free. It is named after the Genovese artist Emanuele Luzzati.

It's the perfect place to say goodbye: dancing outdoors, among the caruggi, with the city all around. Before the party, from 19:00, there are two outdoor themed classes, one in the archaeological area and one in the Spazio Luzzati.
