SZIGET-BUDAPEST CITYPASS


What is it all about?

Sziget-Budapest CITYPASS is your key to the city. Make the most out of your festival holiday, use all public transport possibilities within the city borders and enjoy the best spas and beaches Budapest has to offer with the help of this special pass.

Why would you need something like that?

Sziget is a small town in itself with many features, but you shouldn’t forget the fact that it’s in the heart of a great touristic city. CITYPASS is especially designed for Sziget fans who are:

  • staying in the city and take public transport each day to get on the festival venue;
  • interested in exploring the city, the special Budapest spa culture, or simply like chilling out on a beach to get ready for another afternoon and night of great party at the festival;
  • planning to arrive earlier or stay longer, just to live out the touristic part of their holidays;
  • only coming for a long weekend, but trying to make the most out of it in an easy and cost effective way.

What is included in the price? 

 

  • Free public transport: with CITYPASS there’s no need to buy any other tickets for public transport in Budapest by tram, bus, metro, or HÉV suburban railways, if you stay inside the city limits. More information on routes and timetables: www.bkv.hu.
