Sziget festival Budapest

“I got basic camping with my gf, full festival and early moving in for camping. No VIP or any high class stuff. Arrived 5th August. Pretty fast check in and security pass (read the rules before packing everything). To my suprise, the camp was already full of tents. Lucky us, we found a decent place between the circus and the playground, right next to the path. Thru the next days, camp was a mess - tents were everywhere (including no camping zones) because of the amount of people that arrived at the festival. We explored the island and discovered that the stages aren't so far away actually, but still you need 20mins from the camp to the beach bar (the beach was actually closed this year so the bar was a bit closer). So be prepared for a lot of walking if you wanna see multiple stages/artists (we got around 20 000 steps per day).”

“Beyond the main stage we managed to find lots of other things that really give the festival a more varied feel. A particular highlight was the hidden away Sziget beach, where you can listen to Balearic House on the banks of the Danube and watch the sunset with a cocktail in hand (or go for after dark chilled vibe). As you’d expect there a few killer dance stages too, with the imposing Colosseum and the queerified Magic Mirrors the pick of the bunch. During the day you can explore the artists field, delve into the fluorescent labyrinth that is the Luminarium, or do all manner of things in the sky – bungee jump, chair swing, a sky-bar and the iconic Sziget wheel to name but a few.”
