After last year’s success, the Ferris wheel called Sziget Eye will be in Erzsébet Square this summer again. If you didn’t have the possibility to try it last year, then you can do it this year, from the end of May till the end of September. Or if you could go for a round last summer, we hope that you will come back this year to repeat it.

Sziget Eye can be found in the heart of Budapest, on Erzsébet Square (at Deák Square) and this year, it won’t be taken to the Sziget Festival, like it was last year, because this Summer, there will be another Ferris wheel at the Festival – a smaller one.

The Ferris wheel is a great spectacle in the city. You can see it from hundreds of meters and if you reach it, you can feel that it gives a different ambiance to the square and to the city, as well. It is unique, just like the panorama it makes possible to enjoy.

Sziget Eye is built by a special method, watch the video below:

The parts of this spectacular Ferris wheel were taken to Budapest in 24 containers. It can be built in 6 days, by 20 people and a160 tons crane. It works with an electro-magnetic system, so it is completely noiseless. It is the biggest temporarily built Ferris wheel in Europe.

It is really safe, comfortable and gives you the experience of a panorama you will never forget.
