Cogwheel railway – Up to the Buda hills

fogasThe Cogwheel rail (Fogaskerekű) is one of the most interesting means of public transportation in Budapest. It goes up from the Varosmajor (near Moszkva ter M2 underground station, 2 stops from here with the tram No. 56 or 18) to the Szechenyi Hill, which is a great starting point for some short excursions in the Buda Hills. You can also get from here to the Janos Hill look-out tower, which offers a great view of the city and it’s sorroundings (in clear weather obviously :). In winter (and if it\’s snowing of course) you can access with the Cogwheel railway Budapest’s only skiing area: the Normafa.
