<p>We were never bored with watching the old trams running alongside the Danube.<br />
<br />
<i>Tram Line 2 runs parallel to the Danube River, stretching from Jászai Mari Square to Közvágóhíd, offering breathtaking views of some of Budapest’s most iconic landmarks. 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>Budapest is divided by the River Danube into two halves, Buda and Pest. Buda, on the west bank, is the historic, hilly, and more residential side with landmarks like Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion, while Pest, on the east, is the flat, bustling side, known for its nightlife, restaurants, and attractions like the Parliament Building and the Opera House. The two sides, originally distinct towns, were joined to form modern Budapest in the 1870s but retain their individual personalities, with Buda offering serene views and Pest providing lively entertainment and a vibrant cultural scene.<br />
<br />
Our hotel was on the Pest (pronounced 'pesht', as s sounds like sh in Hungarian) and we enjoyed several walks alongside the Danube. One of the first landmarks we spotted was Buda Castle, as seen here.</p>
