On the last weekends of August, the transportation of the past comes to life in the capital city again. Unique heritage transport services will be offered to those who want a special experience.
Visitors will be able to travel by heritage tramlines in Budapest but can also try suburban railway lines to Gödöllő and a tram night-time photo tour.
Hundred year-old tramcars, the most beautiful sights of Budapest and an amazing experience – the reasons why Sunday heritage tram service along the Danube river embankment is a must-try. It offers a glimpse into the original atmosphere of the late 19th-century Budapest and an outstanding view all along the route, including Buda Castle, the Fisherman’s Bastion and Gellért Hill. The special tramcars marked with a “J” are in service on 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31 August on tram line 2 which is among National Geographic magazine’s Top 10 tram rides.

On 16 August the legendary Ganz UV tramline operates again as well. The heritage tram night-time photo tour takes visitors along the most beautiful sights of the Hungarian capital, too, and to the routes of the narrow street tramlines, outskirts of Budapest; it’ll stop at special photo spots of the city. Registration and boarding are from 10:45 pm at Hungária kocsiszín (Hungária trainer) only and visitors have to look for the tram marked „F”.
Finally, „G” marks a 62-year-old MVIII-type electric motor-train that will be in service on 20 August. This unique heritage suburban railway departs from Örs vezér Square and offers transport to Gödöllő, a precious little town East of Budapest and a visit to Sissi’s castle.
