Budapest has seven islands on the Danube River: Hajogyari sziget (Shipyard Island), Margit-sziget (Margaret Island), Csepel sziget, Palotai-sziget (today, a peninsula), Nepsziget (connected to the above, but mostly surrounded by water), Haros-sziget and Molnor-sziget.

Margit-sziget Island has almost 1 square kilometer surface and hosts a park. The island is placed between Margaret Bridge and Arpad Bridge. Tourists or locals can be often seen jogging or biking on the island, and during the evening the dance clubs and restaurants around the island are full. During the summer season, the place is famous for its bench-partying.

Csepel Island (Csepel-sziget) is a 48 km long island and 6 to 8 km wide.

Hajogyari-sziget (or Obudai-sziget) is artificially built island. On the island tourists can enjoy activities like wake-boarding or jet-skiing. The clubs get crowded with beautiful hungarian girls during the night. The island also hosts every year the well knows and very famous Sziget Music Festival. There are big plans for this island: soon the place will be transformed in one of the most impressive entertainment places in Europe. Hotels, apartments, casinos and a marina port are planned to be build.

The smallest island on the Danube in Budapest is Luppa-sziget.
