Hopping on tram 2 is one of the most beautiful and cheapest ways of sightseeing in Budapest, as it goes along the Danube riverbank, conveying you past the iconic buildings from Jászai Mari tér to the National Theatre. And all of this costs the price of a BKK ticket – or two if you want to do the return journey. Look to your left and right when going in either direction as the tram goes by Parliament, the Gresham Palace, Chain Bridge and under Elizabeth Bridge. On the other side of the Danube, the Buda Hills can be seen as well as the Castle District and Gellért Baths. Tram 2 is not the only communal transport that provides an alternative way of exploring the city – MOL Bubi and BKK boat services open new possibilities, too.
