About Sziget Festival 2009
Budapest's Sziget festival needs little or no introduction as one of Europe's biggest open-air events.
The festival
takes over one of the Hungarian capital's islands for a whole mid-summer week and welcomes around 380,000 revellers to dabble
in a massively eclectic mix of entertainment.
Iron Maiden, Jamiroquai and Justice were among the big names playing
last year. 24 stages and areas host the musical action while the island also plays host to theatre, cinemas, dance halls,
high thrill rides and sports facilities including a life-size foosball pitch.
Sziget is also the epitome of the 'European'
festival with half of the punters coming from outside of Hungary. Not only is it a musical experience to remember then, it
is a cultural one too.
Budapest Ferihegy International Airport is the city's main gateway to Europe. Deli (Southbound),
Nyugati (Westbound) and Keleti (Eastbound) stations also provide extensive national and international rail links.
