Sziget – Island of Freedom

A week-long city break and a festival in Hungary

Sziget

When: WED–WED, August 7–14
Where: Budapest
Entry: 75€–339€, buy a ticket

Probably one of the biggest festivals in Europe, Sziget is super special as you can live and breath the city (when in Buda be a Pest) while partying away into the early hours at a festival set on an island. With a huge line-up this year (including the likes of Ed Sheeran, Foo Figthers, Franz Ferdinand and Chvrches) you can also pick and choose your days, or, if you have the stamina for it, just go all in and stay the 7 days. YOLO. Check the detailed programme. Watch last year’s festival film, here:

To get there you’ll need to… catch a train, or take a bus to Budapest.

This festival is special because… look at the line-up! And this island festival is huge!

Recommended if you like: the idea of being on the island of Freedom, big line-ups, city breaks, not having to camp at a festival because you can get an Airbnb, actually being clean at the festival, partying on an island
