Descend to the Underground Railway Museum at Deák Ferenc tér, where Budapest's pioneering 1896 metro story unfolds. Step up to three historic trains and read the displays tracing how the line was built.

📖

Full description

Tucked behind a ticket office at Deák Ferenc Metro Station, this museum documents how Budapest became the first continental European city to build an underground railway, opening in 1896. Three historic Underground trains share the space with display stands covering the line's development and what followed.

Reviewers describe it as very small and simple, so it works best as a short stop for rail and history enthusiasts rather than a half-day outing. Thirty minutes is typically enough, and its central location makes it easy to add to a walk through the city centre.

Discover the history of competition between London and Budapest, whose underground was the first one to open 😀 Unfortunately there was no guide , only read and see the exhibitions
