Buda Castle

If you are travelling with children, the Buda Hills are the place to take them. Begin with a ride on the Cog Railway (Fogaskerekű), which has been winding through pleasant wooded suburbs into the Buda Hills since 1874. The lower terminus of the railway is on Szilágyi Erzsébet fasor, opposite the circular high-rise Hotel Budapest and within walking distance of Moszkva tér. The fare is one metro ticket (daily, a11 year).

Near the Széchenyi hegy upper terminus of the cog railway on XII Rege utca is the narrow-gauge Children’s Railway (Gyermekvasút), a scenic 12-km route opened in 1950, which operates hourly year-round every day except Monday. With the exception of the engineer, this line is staffed by children to interest them in transportation careers. Catch a train to the station on Jánoshegy and walk up through the forest to the lookout tower (529 metres) with its 3600 view.

The chair lift (libegő) on János-hegy, which operates daily all year from 9.30 a.m. to 5 p.m., will take you down to XII Zugligeti út, where you can catch the No 158 bus back to Moszkva tér. If you stay on the Children’s Railway until the northern terminus at Hűvös-völgy, you can catch tram No 56 back to Moszkva tér
