Népsziget is a neighborhood in Budapest, located in the IV and XIII districts. It is also known as Újpesti Island or Mosquito Island. The peninsula is approximately 2 km long and covers an area of 50 hectares. It is situated on the boundary between the districts, on the northern and southern sides of the Újpest railway bridge embankment. Originally, it was one of the Danube river's islands, but today it is a peninsula. It is bordered by the Danube on all sides except for Zsilip Street. It is located to the northeast of Hajógyári Island.
