Children's Railway (Gyermek Vasút) is called so because it is operated by children. The kids surely do not drive the locomotive, but they check the tickets, make announcements at the stations and solemnly greet the train full of excited travelers. Children's Railway is a narrow-gauge forest railway with the old locomotive and three carriages. The train goes slowly through the woods up and down Buda hills and stops at the highest point of Budapest, János-hegy (526 m).
Tickets
Tickets are available in the ticket offices at the stations. One-way trip from Széchenyi hegy to Hűvösvölgy costs 600 HUF, 300 HUF for kids.
