SIGHTS NEARBY THE CHILDREN’S RAILWAY:

The railway is located in Budapest in the Buda side forest area. Most of our stations are easy to access by public transportation from Széll Kálmán tér metro station and from Déli pályaudvar central station. There are many sights nearby our stations (Erzsébet lookout tower, Normafa, Chairlift, Cogwheel Railway, forest playgrounds, Budakeszi ZOO, sledding places during winter, stb). We do not recommend to visit us by car, the only P+R is next to Hűvösvölgy station (parking is NOT free).
