SZIGET is an incredible Rock Music festival where thousand of young guys gather for a week, in an island in the middle of of the Danube river just in the center of Budapest. You can enter in the island woth your own car (in this case you should buy early an additional caravan ticket) or just park outside and enter with your backpack. Policemans are taking care of the area checking all the car that are going out from, verifying if the driver is also the owner. Once inside you should taka care of leaving theimportant stuff (wallet and so on) in the appropriate secutiry boxes, because there are robberies in the tents. The place is enourmous. There are 60 stages for every taste of music, performing 24 hours per day. In the all week are programmed 1000 concerts! Formerly look for a place that is quite (far enought from the after party techno area) to put your tent (not too close to the chemical bathrooms but not far from the spring and the showers). There are places to eat everywhere (indian, chinese, hungarian, etc), supermarkets, free internet point and organized staff that provide all the information you need at each corner. |

Concerts start at 16 pm and keep on ultil 2 o'clock. After the is the after party techno area. The Big ones concert (look at the foto) start at 21 o'clock. There are dedicates Blues, Jazz and also a Disco for specific tastes and thousand of other dancing places. A live karaoke area completes the picture. Beer is half-price but it is really light, so you can drink litres of it being barely affected. Social security is good enought, except when 3 drunk french guys threw a wheeled garbage bin, down from a hill, making it craching into a tent...In general people are 20 years old and you can really enjoy the atmosphere of a woodstock style festival. What a pity that Sziget there wasn't 8 years ago... |
