Szigetszentmiklós is a city in Hungary, located in Pest County, about 20 kilometers south of Budapest. It is situated on Csepel Island, a large island in the Danube River. Szigetszentmiklós is part of the Budapest metropolitan area and serves as a commuter town for many people working in the capital.

The history of the settlement dates back to the Árpád era. Archaeological finds suggest human presence in the area for centuries. The name "Szigetszentmiklós" translates to "Saint Nicholas on the Island." The town's development accelerated in the 20th century, particularly after World War II, as it became more integrated into the greater Budapest region.

Today, Szigetszentmiklós is a growing urban center with a population of over 30,000 inhabitants. It offers a range of amenities, including schools, healthcare facilities, and recreational areas. The proximity to Budapest provides residents with access to broader employment opportunities and cultural attractions, while the island location offers a somewhat more tranquil environment compared to the bustling capital. The Danube River plays a significant role in the city's landscape and lifestyle, with opportunities for water sports and relaxation along its banks. The city is connected to Budapest by road and public transport, making it easily accessible.
