If you ever find yourself in Budapest, Hungary for the winter
holidays, don't miss the wonderfully festive Christmas trams, local
streetcars decorated with over 30,000 twinkling LED lights. People of
all ages and nationalities marvel at the special trolleys each winter,
mesmerized by the sight of thousands of blue-and-white lights glittering
like stars in the evening or the glow of a futuristic vehicle jetting
through time, while passengers also get to enjoy seeing the whole city
lit up with Christmas cheer as they travel through the streets.
Started in 2009 by the Budapest Transport Company, the festive
tradition is a delight for locals, citizens, and children. Best of all,
anyone with a regular ticket or public transport travel pass can ride
the Christmas trams, making them a fun and budget-friendly way to get
around Budapest while enjoying some holiday spirit.
