ABOUT US:

Children’s Railway, Budapest is one of Budapest’s most unique attractions. Like any other railway, it has ticket offices, diesel locomotives, signals, switches and a timetable. Unlike other railways though, this one is run by children. The line stretches among the Buda hills from Széchenyihegy to Hűvösvölgy, crossing the Cogwheel Railway and serving Normafa as well as the highest point of Budapest: Jánoshegy.

The lookout towers, forest playgrounds, places of pilgrimage and other attractions lie close to the stations, making the Children’s Railway the ideal jumping-off point for a half-day trip even for families, friends, groups or lone travellers.

A steam locomotive also operates on selected days. The journey is a special experience for train-loving adults and children alike.

The railway is operated by MÁV from the beginning.

MUSEUM

On platform 1 of Hűvösvölgy station, an interactive exhibition presents the history of our narrow gauge-railway from the begining to present day. The Children’s Railway Museum and Souvenir Shop has exciting items and games for the whole family. The museum is usually open on weekends and school holidays (during the entirety of summer).

Furthermore our salon-carriages provide a special environment for family events, birthdays and meetings. Carriages can be fitted with dining tables and chairs as desired, up to around 20 seats.

TIMETABLES
