As the tram meanders along the Pest embankment, passengers are treated to a visual feast of historical and architectural marvels.<br /> Starting at Jászai Mari Square, the tram glides past the majestic Hungarian Parliament Building, with its stunning Gothic Revival architecture. Continuing along the route, passengers can catch glimpses of the elegant Gresham Palace, the famous Chain Bridge, and the Elizabeth Bridge. On the opposite side of the river, the tram reveals the scenic beauty of the Buda Hills, the Castle District, and the iconic Gellért Bath. This tram ride is a great way to view the city’s landmarks without the hustle and bustle of traffic, making it an ideal sightseeing option.<br /> The history of Tram Line 2 dates back to 1942, when the route was originally designated as the 16A tram. At that time, it only connected Jászai Mari Square with Március 15 Square. Due to World War II, the service was suspended but was later revived in 1945, initially extending to Eötvös Square and eventually reaching Kálvin Square.<br /> The tram line has undergone several changes and extensions over the years. In August 1948, following the completion of the rebuilt Margaret Bridge, the northern terminus returned to Jászai Mari Square. However, by the end of 1949, the southern terminus had been shortened to Fővám Square. In 1951, the tram line was extended to Boráros Square, and after further adjustments, it reached its current length from Jászai Mari Square to Közvágóhíd by 1973.<br /> The line has experienced temporary alterations, such as during the construction of the 4th metro line between June 2007 and October 2009, which required a split in the tram service and the introduction of shuttle buses. More recent modifications include the extension of the tram route to accommodate new infrastructure and passenger needs.</i> (From todobudapest.com)</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jainbow/">Jainbow</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jainbow/54825753417/" title="River Danube Walk"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54825753417_72a90b04e7_m.jpg" width="240" height="100" alt="River Danube Walk" /></a></p> <p>Here's a set of me with the Little Princess from my last upload. I was posing for JJ and he was determined to get a tram in the background. (This isn't the whole tram - I just lined up each shot as neatly as I could!) Not difficult cos the tram system is so efficient and they were going past every couple of minutes!</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/michel3951/">michel3951</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/michel3951/54826800829/" title="Reanal Vegyszergyár"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54826800829_3d38fa5a44_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Reanal Vegyszergyár" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/michel3951/">michel3951</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/michel3951/54826891825/" title="Reanal Vegyszergyár"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54826891825_9a7900b10a_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Reanal Vegyszergyár" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/michel3951/">michel3951</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/michel3951/54826557746/" title="Reanal Vegyszergyár"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54826557746_685e368f96_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Reanal Vegyszergyár" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/michel3951/">michel3951</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/michel3951/54826800824/" title="Reanal Vegyszergyár"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54826800824_21ae38f3f4_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Reanal Vegyszergyár" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/199101808@N07/">Renaud...</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/199101808@N07/54825073597/" title="Parliament, Budapest, Hungary, 2025"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54825073597_49761db3fb_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Parliament, Budapest, Hungary, 2025" /></a></p> <p></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/manspeakers/">SpeakerPics</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/manspeakers/54824343732/" title="Chain Bridge, Budapest"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54824343732_a7fbd2f87e_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Chain Bridge, Budapest" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/elvis-l-barban/">Alvise Barbana</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/elvis-l-barban/54825413738/" title="Budapest cityscape"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54825413738_320a4aed22_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Budapest cityscape" /></a></p> <p>View of the Széchenyi Chain Bridge over the Danube river in Budapest, HU, 2005</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/jainbow/">Jainbow</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/jainbow/54825358800/" title="The Little Princess, Budapest"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54825358800_fae8945c2c_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="The Little Princess, Budapest" /></a></p> <p>One of the things we wanted to do while in Budapest was search for some of the many sculptures in the city - some large, like this 'little princess' and some much smaller. We were also quite obsessed with spotting the trams, especially the older ones, like this one!<br /> <br /> <i>A mere 20 inches in height, the whimsical Little Princess of Budapest sits on a tramway railing by the Danube Promenade, wearing a raggedy crown and a bathrobe, an expression of childlike ennui on her face.<br /> Created by award-winning sculptor László Marton in 1972, the royal little statuette was inspired by his six-year-old daughter Évike, who would play pretend as a princess wearing a bathrobe for a cloak and a newspaper crown her father had made.<br /> When the city of Budapest commissioned Marton for a sculpture to be on public display, the image of his own little princess immediately came to his mind, a scene of undying childhood glee. The statue received a hearty welcome as soon as it was unveiled, and today it is sometimes seen as an icon of Budapest itself.<br /> The original version sculpture, which was replaced by a larger cast in 1990, now resides in the collection of the Hungarian National Gallery. In addition to this, two notable copies exist; one can be found in Marton’s hometown of Tapolca, and another, quite interestingly, stands in front of the concert hall of the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre, representing the years of friendly Hungarian-Japanese relations.</i> From atlasobscura.com)</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/79579550@N05/">Szabó Bence</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/79579550@N05/54824994004/" title="Dabas"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54824994004_c9e090b939_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Dabas" /></a></p> <p>Végállomásához közelít személyvonatával a retróhétvégéken rendszeresen betegeskedő 187-es Szergej.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/199101808@N07/">Renaud...</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/199101808@N07/54824808323/" title="View on Buda side, Budapest, Hungay, 2025"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54824808323_1997081d46_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="View on Buda side, Budapest, Hungay, 2025" /></a></p> <p></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/199857603@N08/">ivett.b</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/199857603@N08/54824702049/" title="October"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54824702049_7b0dc064ee_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="October" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/attilastefan/">attila.stefan</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/attilastefan/54823673699/" title="FP5409M"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54823673699_f18f0d99d8_m.jpg" width="167" height="240" alt="FP5409M" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/dscphotoca/">[dscphoto]</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/dscphotoca/54823681240/" title="Attention to Details"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54823681240_2fcfd37c1d_m.jpg" width="181" height="240" alt="Attention to Details" /></a></p> <p>Street scene in Budapest, Hungary.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/150617593@N04/">Freek Blokzijl</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/150617593@N04/54823604450/" title="SU-BUL, Airbus A320-251NEO, Air Cairo @ Budapest"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54823604450_a2abbc53d7_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="SU-BUL, Airbus A320-251NEO, Air Cairo @ Budapest" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/150617593@N04/">Freek Blokzijl</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/150617593@N04/54823275346/" title="UP-B3742, Boeing 737-8 MAX, SCAT Airlines @ Budapest"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54823275346_da9030de44_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="UP-B3742, Boeing 737-8 MAX, SCAT Airlines @ Budapest" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/tushka154/">Tushka154</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/tushka154/54823065361/" title="SP-RZF | Buzz (operating for Ryanair) | Boeing 737-8200 MAX | BUD/LHBP"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54823065361_8d09e220d3_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="SP-RZF | Buzz (operating for Ryanair) | Boeing 737-8200 MAX | BUD/LHBP" /></a></p> <p>RYR37BH Landing RWY 31R from Milan (BGY) performing flight FR2107</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/tushka154/">Tushka154</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/tushka154/54823397010/" title="A6-WAF | Wizz Air Abu Dhabi | Airbus A321-231 | BUD/LHBP"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54823397010_352244bc7a_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="A6-WAF | Wizz Air Abu Dhabi | Airbus A321-231 | BUD/LHBP" /></a></p> <p>WAZ602 Landing RWY 31R from Abu Dhabi (AUH)</p>
