Recommended ways to get to the Sziget Festival

The festival area is easy to reach with local train (HÉV) departing from Batthyány tér. You have to get off the train at the stop Filatorigát. During the days of the Festival trains run on a more frequent schedule inside Budapest in the morning and evening hours (at the weekend in the afternoons also) and there are night trains as well.

Please note that the only night line stopping at Batthyány tér is the hourly running 921. Those who are about to go downtown at night, we suggest changing to night line 906, 923 or 931 at Margit híd (Margit Bridge); towards Móricz Zsigmond körtér please change to night line 960. Towards Zugló (district XIV) and Ferencváros (district IX) please change to night line 901 at Szentlélek tér (Árpád Bridge).

Parking

Since the Festival is not surrounded by an area where you may park your car, we would like to ask everybody to rely solely on the public transport (or your bike). The organizing group behind Sziget is making an effort to keep the prices of boat- and bustickets, and taxi transfers low in order to encourage you not to use your car. Cars parking in no-parking areas will be taken care of by the police! Valuables left in the car cannot be protected!

We would like to inform you that in case of irregular parking Óbuda-Békásmegyer Public Area Inspectorship (Budapest, 3rd district, Ladik street 2-6.) can tow away your vehicle.
