Sziget 2020<\/h2>\n

The first half of the lineup for Hungary\u2019s biggest music festival was announced in the middle of February, a couple of months later than usual. The diverse list of performers (who will make an appearance on Budapest\u2019s \u00d3budai Island between 5 and 11 August) includes the likes of Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa, Major Lazer, The Strokes, Foals, Foster The People, ASAP Rocky, Glass Animals, and Jon Hopkins, making sure that each festival-goer (of which there were around 530,000 last year) finds something suitable for their taste.<\/p>\n

Same Station, New Name<\/h2>\n

Following the recent refurbishment of the northern section of metro line M3, the local government of District 13, together with BKK, the city\u2019s public transport company, has decided to rename the line\u2019s \u2018\u00c1rp\u00e1d Bridge\u2019 station to \u2018\u00c1rp\u00e1d G\u00f6ncz City Centre\u2019 – a rather misleading designation, as Budapest\u2019s proper city centre is found a good 4 kilometres to the south. Previously bearing the name of \u00c1rp\u00e1d, grand prince of the Magyars, now the station carries the name of Hungary\u2019s first president, who held the office from 1990 to 2000, and died in 2015.<\/p>\n

Rail is the Way<\/h2>\n

In late January, Hungary\u2019s government has created a new institution called Budapest Development Centre, with the aim to unite under one central policy workshop all matters of long-term urban development and transport investments in the capital and its larger metropolitan area. Headed by D\u00e1vid Vit\u00e9zy, the former head of BKK, the centre\u2019s mission will be to focus future projects around a clear concept, such as making rail a more integral part of the region\u2019s public transport system, and transforming the suburban railways into mixed-purpose metro lines.<\/p>\n

Restaurant of the Year<\/h2>\n

Every year, the international jury of the Volkswagen-Dining Guide Restaurant of the Year Gala votes for the top Hungarian culinary establishments, picking their favourite venues and food artisans in 12 categories. This year, the \u2018Restaurant of the Year\u2019 award went to Tam\u00e1s Sz\u00e9ll and Szabina Szull\u00f3\u2019s Stand Restaurant, the \u2018Chef of the Year\u2019 title was awarded to \u00c1d\u00e1m M\u00e9sz\u00e1ros (from Onyx), while Anyuk\u00e1m Mondta has been voted as the \u2018Best Countryside Restaurant\u2019 of 2020.
