Miskolc Advent tram can become Europe’s most stunning again – vote here!

For the ninth time, the Czech transport portal MHD86 has launched its international poll to crown Europe’s most breathtaking Advent tram. Over the past eight years, Miskolc’s festive tram has triumphed in first place every single time, earning glowing international acclaim for the city of Miskolc—with its dazzling array of colourful, intricate Christmas experiences—and for Miskolc Városi Közlekedési Ltd.

Miskolc’s Advent tram could once again become Europe’s most stunning

This year’s contest pits festive vehicles from 38 cities across 13 countries against each other in an incredibly fierce field. Voters from across Europe will discover one jaw-dropping Advent tram after another, so every single vote counts doubly for Miskolc’s entry if it’s to defend its champion title once more.

What sets Miskolc’s Advent tram apart year after year is its magical transformation: it doesn’t just get dazzling exterior lights— it undergoes a complete interior makeover, whisking passengers into a richly detailed, thematic fairy-tale world.

This season, the outer design bursts with carousel elements evoking the joy of travel and festive charm, symbolic figures from nature, graceful deer, and the iconic Nutcracker from Christmas traditions. These elements fuse into a shimmering, moving spectacle that blends seamlessly into Miskolc’s enchanting Advent light display.
