Tram 60 (Cogwheel Railway)

Historic cogwheel tram climbing into the Buda Hills

Tram 60 is Budapest's cogwheel railway, a practical piece of public transport that also feels like a small excursion. It climbs from the city into the Buda Hills, trading riverfront grandeur for leafy streets, villas, and cooler air.

Use it when you want a gentle way into the hills without planning a full hike. It pairs well with walks around Szechenyi-hegy and onward links toward the Children's Railway, making it one of Budapest's quieter transport pleasures.
