HOW TO GET TO

SZIGET FESTIVAL

On the right, we describe in detail how to get to the festival ground in Budapest from Amsterdam, London and Paris with your InterRail Global Pass.

An InterRail Pass gives you the oppertunity to explore up to 30 European countries by train, almost unlimited! However there are some trains that require a reservation, like high speed or night trains.
