Spring arrives with the BKK Heritage Services
Change language:
The Heritage Service trams of the Centre for Budapest Transport (BKK) and of BKV are back on track since Sunday (18 March), reports napi.hu. You can hop on one of the trams for a round of nostalgia each Sunday until the 15th of April.
You can enjoy a sense of vintage and ‘retro’ in Budapest by taking one of the Heritage Service vintage trams that run between Széll Kálmán Square and Hűvösvölgy on Sundays from the 18th of March until the 15th of April. The wooden-framed two-axle vintage trams (marked 611 and 436) take off at 10, 11, 13 and 14 o’clock each Sunday from Széll Kálmán Square, arriving 26 minutes later to Hűvösvölgy.

The 436 wooden-framed two-axle yellow vintage tram was manufactured in Budapest in 1913. After serving the city for several decades, it was taken out of service in 1980.
This was followed by almost ten years of rest in storage, just to be repaired and revamped to its original state in 1987.
