Overview

We will travel to the the Children’s Railway on the scenic, hillside cogwheel railway. At the station we’ll visit an exhibition about the history of the railway and see how children take all the responsibility for running the service.

Having bought the tickets (your children can buy them if they like) we’ll go on a joy ride on the open-sided (in summer) train running through the woods of this national park, and you can see how the children run the system.

We will get off at the fourth stop and take a short walk through the woods to the Erzsébet Lookout Tower on János Hill to have a unsurpassed views of the whole city.
After an ice-cream break we’ll come back down to the city on the panoramic two-seater chairlift, another popular attraction for locals and visitors alike.

Szell Kalman Square (Pass By)

Széll Kálmán tér is the starting hub for the many paths leading into the hills of buda. The originally anonymous area became Széll Kálmán tér (Széll Kálmán Square) in 1929, named after the Hungarian prime minister Kálmán Széll. Following the Soviet occupation and the Communist takeover in the country, the square was renamed to Moszkva tér in 1951 under the Rákosi regime. Following the fall of communist regimes in Eastern Europe, it was debated whether it should be renamed again to the original Széll Kálmán, but initially the name remained.
