The Budapest light tram is back! don’t miss this Christmas ride – PHOTOS

Budapest’s light tram is back again, for the 10th year in a row. The public transport vehicle lit up by LED lights has truly become an integral part of the Advent period in Budapest. It will be an unforgettable experience both for those riding on it and those walking along the Danube.

This year, the light tram is operating between November 29th and January 6th. According to Hirado.hu, the tram that has become a symbol of Budapest is decorated by 3500 metres of fairy lights, meaning a total of 39,200 white and blue LED lights are signalling the way of the vehicle.

The tram officially got on its way on November 29th, after Tibor Bolla, the CEO of BKV (Budapest Transport Company) and Kálmán Dabóczi, the CEO of BKK (Budapest Transport Centre), gave a press conference and launched the vehicle. Bolla said that

this tram symbolises “love and the city’s preparation for the holidays”.
