Hungarian Railway Museum

Adults will have a great time too, belive me. I'm not really an engine or car enthusiast but still enjoyed a lot this fantastic exhibition.

The vintage locomotives stand in a neat half circle towering above you and recalling the era when this powerful steam engines were running along the railway lines of Hungary.

Next to the enormous engines I feel really tiny even in my daddy's arms

You can ride in a Tchaika car alterted to be able to run on the railway line. Mechanics used it to check the railway lines.

Cables, pressure meters, and other gadgets make the interior of an old locomotive look impressive.

Other activites you can try include riding on the turntable, drive a steam engine, riding on a horse tram. In the engine simulator you can have a virtual experience of operating the most powerful Hungarian electric engine.

You can operate the railway models housed in a building near the museum's entrance.

If you get tired you can relax on the terrace of the Nosztalgia Café, have a cup of tea or cafe with some snacks.
