Sziget Festival “more than just a musical event” – Direct Travel Insurance

The Sziget Festival provides tourists with a chance to enjoy Hungary’s finest music festival while experiencing the culture, heritage and natural beauty that the country has to offer.


While this five day festival is primarily aimed at overnight campers, you can leave and return to the island at any time. Use the taxi or bus line services to take you into the city. Make the most of your time and take in all the sights at your leisure.


Budapest offers a number of architectural and historical attractions. The houses of parliament, state opera house and Chain Bridge are just a few examples of this.


Take a break from music and explore the art on offer. The Museum of fine art houses some of the finest foreign art in the country. This museum features prints, ancient sculptures and old masters’ collections. Along with the Palace of Arts, it’s not to be missed.


Budapest is home to the Great Synagogue, the largest synagogue in Europe, and boasts a number of other impressive religious sites such as the St Stephens Basilica, the biggest cathedral in Budapest.


Also be sure to visit one of Budapest’s impressive spas, the most popular being Ruda’s Baths, Gellért Baths, and Széchenyi Baths. The latter is one of the largest bathing complexes in Europe offering visitors ample scope for bathing and relaxation.


Before leaving it is recommended you take out a reliable specialist European travel insurance policy to ensure you are covered against any unexpected incidents. Lost luggage, stolen passports or missed flights can all prove to be costly.
