For one week every August, an ordinary river island in the north of the city turns into one of Europe's biggest music festivals. Sziget, running since 1993 on Obudai-sziget, packs several hundred thousand visitors onto a strip of land normally used for very little, and getting a group there and back reliably is a logistics job in its own right, not an afterthought.
The island itself has no dedicated road bridge built for festival-scale traffic, so coach access runs through designated set-down points arranged with the festival organisers rather than general parking, and timing against the day's gate opening matters more here than at almost any other Budapest event on the calendar.
