Szigetszentmiklós
Szigetszentmiklós is a twentieth-century technology story built onto an older Csepel Island settlement. Lakihegy’s radio mast, the wartime Dunai aircraft works, postwar Csepel truck production, worker housing, local museums and protected Danube-branch nature explain how a village became a large metropolitan town.
