An underground festival is being organised to celebrate the reopening of the M3 metro line. On 15 and 16 June, concerts, theatre performances, exhibitions, stand-up comedy and an underground playground will welcome the residents of Budapest and visitors at the renovated stations.
After five years of renovation, the Budapest Metro Line 3, also known as the Blue Line, is finally operational again. The Budapest Brand Nonprofit Zrt. highlights that the capital, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, is concluding this five-year period filled with transfers, replacement buses, escalator breakdowns with an underground festival. The event is organised by the Budapest Brand in collaboration with the Budapest Transport Company (BKV), Magyarországom writes.
