Moderate price rise at Sziget Festival this year: here are the prices
Hungary’s emblematic Sziget Festival, attracting tens of thousands of tourists to visit Budapest, will kick off tomorrow. Thanks to a Reddit post, we already know how much drinks will cost at the Island of Freedom. The price rise is moderate compared to last year, and there will be budget foods available.
Moreover, the organisers will waive the HUF 50 extra DRS redemption fee (Deposit Refund System). Another good news for foreign tourists is that the forint is again low against the euro.

To increase comfort, the organisers placed palm trees and glittering curtains in the showering rooms. In the showering rooms, they will play thematic playlists.
