By car
All Hungary’s motorways and most of her main roads radiate out from the capital. The M1, M3, M5 and M7 are toll motorways, and you must pay the appropriate toll (either at the border or at larger petrol stations) and display the windscreen sticker before joining the road. Road signs conform to continental standards. The wearing of seatbelts is compulsory in both the front and back seats, and only handless mobile telephones may be used whilst vehicles are in motion. The alcohol limit is zero. Speed limits are 50 km/hour (31 mph) in built-up areas and 90 km/hour (56 mph) elsewhere, except on dual carriageways (110 km/hour, 68 mph) and motorways (130 km/hour, 80 mph). The horn can only be used in built-up areas in an emergency. 24-hour roadside assistance is available from the Magyar Autóklub (Tel.: (+36-1) 345-1755), and emergency roadside help can also be called for by dialling 188.
PARKING
Since it’s very crowded near the festival island entrance we advice you to park your car elsewhere. There is free parking in the living areas two kilometers from Sziget and on Heroes square in the city centre.
Guarded parking lots are to be found everywhere in town. The most interesting parkings:
Parkings near the former Roman Amphitheatre at Lajos Utca 79-91 en Folyamor Utca11 both in district III for 1500 forint a day (4,8 GBP).
