Travelling Cheap

A cheap way of travelling to new places combined with an entertaining factor is visiting Peninsula Festival in Targu Mures, Romania. The Transylvanian town is the host of a complex festival having the same organisers as Sziget Festival from Budapest.

Peninsula Festival takes places every summer on the banks of River Mures (just outside the town of Targu Mures, in the heart of Transylvania) and it gives visitors access to 3-4 stages, swimming pools, camping areas, activities like bungee jumping, climbing, paintball, bazaars, beer gardens and sandwich bars (international “cuisine” like kebabs, gyros, hamburgers or goulash).

The bands and artists who were at the Peninsula Festival throughout the years are: Above and Beyond, DJ Tiesto, Prodigy, Nine Inch Nails, Tricky, Therapy, Europe and many more bands from Romania, Hungary, Holland, Slovakia etc.

The fee for all the 4 days of the festival is around £40, a beer costs around £0.60 (check out the place called The Beer Pharmacy), a sandwich £1. The entrance ticket grants visitors free access to the nearby swimming pools and to a lot of free activities.
