Access, parking, travel

You can go to the island on foot, by taxi or even by boat. However, the easiest way to get there is to take the HÉV. From Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport, there is a direct Sziget connection. If you choose a taxi, there are 4 partners to get on and off the island at the closest point of entry. The official taxis of Sziget are Bolt, Főtaxi, City Taxi and 6×6 Taxi. We recommend that you only use these taxis to avoid fraud.
