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.

Budapest, Széll Kálmán tér, 1024 Hungary This tour may end anywhere in the greater down town area, it's only a matter of discussion.

  • Deak Ferenc Square, Budapest, Hungary
    We meet centrally and then, head to the beautiful hills of Buda. The square is named for Ferenc Deák, "The Wise Man of the Nation". It's a major intersection and transport junction in Budapest.

    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.
  • Szechenyi Hill, Budapest, Hungary
    In 1948-1949, the famous pioneer railway (now known as the Children's Railway) was built, with several stops and terminals on the surrounding hills. The railway was designed to develop tourism and train future railwaymen, but was also used for propaganda purposes during the period. Excursions were organised for schoolchildren from all over the country, making the area a nationally popular family destination, especially for families with young children.

Miklos, our guide, picked us up at our apartment. Once we met, he immediately told us about the district we resided in - he really knows every niche in Budapest. After strolling around and learning about the history of Obuda, Pest and Buda, we went to a restaurant to learn Ungarian: Kerek egy sört! - Egészségedre! Following this, we took the public transport to more hotspots in the district and the remaining city of Pest. We learned a lot during those 3 1/2 enjoyable hours (Hungarian, History and Culture) - more than any Wikipedia article can teach us. We were also amazed how he shaped the tour around our interests. This combined made it the most interesting and exciting tour we've ever done. Thank you, Miklos, for this memorable tour through Budapest. See you again Köszönöm szépen, szia!

In our first visit to Budapest (and hopefully not the last one!), on our sons' initiative we decided to book a two hours' class of Hungarian language. Wonderful Miklós turned it into a fully-fledged guided tour through the language, the history of the country, the beauty of Budapest architecture and the ways of Hungarian people. We still need our notes to ask for the toilet or order a beer in Hungarian, but we go back home with a new, broader vision of this part of the world that was so foreign to us a few days ago and now we're so fond of. Thank you, Miklós!!
