The Children’s Railway in the Buda Hills is a great outing, especially with kids. And this season, the trains are decked out in festive style, making the ride even more magical!

If you're in Budapest with kids, the Children's Railway is a must! This unique mode of transport connects some of the prettiest spots in Buda Hills. Not to mention that it's run by schoolchildren – except for the driving part, surely. And the festive season brings extra cheer: for several years now, the trains have been adorned with special lights and Christmas decorations, and this year’s 'Santa Train' is no exception, complete with a giant Santa leading the way.

Running until January, these festive trains operate on most service days, making them perfect for a winter outing or an Advent season adventure. It's worth pairing the ride with a scenic walk, too. Check the timetable here!
