On Óbuda Island in the heart of Budapest – where Sziget takes place every August – you can enjoy the crème de la crème of the world’s music industry for six days. Last edition, for example, Justin Bieber, Arctic Monkeys, Dua Lipa, Tame Impala, Kings of Leon, Stromae and Calvin Harris took the Hungarian stage. The world famous festival also has an amazing side program: (street) theatre, dance, circus, sports, art, cabaret and much more.

Want to combine a festival trip with a city trip? Sziget seems to be made for that too. The event takes place in the capital of Hungary. You can travel from the festival site to the historic city center of Budapest in no time, where you can enjoy the beautiful buildings, relax in one of the traditional bathhouses or have a drink in a ruin bar.
