Hajógyárisziget

Hajógyárisziget, often referred to as Óbudai-sziget, is a Danube island located in Budapest, Hungary. It is the largest island in the Budapest section of the Danube and is situated in the northern part of the city, north of Margaret Island. Historically, the island was an industrial area, most notably home to the Óbuda Shipyard, which gave the island its name. The shipyard was a significant employer and a vital part of Budapest's industrial heritage.

In recent decades, the island has undergone a transformation from its industrial past. While some remnants of its former use can still be found, large parts of Hajógyárisziget have been redeveloped and are now used for recreational and cultural purposes. It is a popular destination for locals and tourists, offering green spaces, sports facilities, and venues for events. The island is also known for hosting the Sziget Festival, one of Europe's largest music and cultural festivals, which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Public access to the island is facilitated by bridges connecting it to the mainland. Its dual identity as a site of industrial history and a vibrant hub for modern culture makes Hajógyárisziget a unique part of Budapest's urban landscape.
