The festival's programmes will culminate in a car-free weekend of Sept 20-21, BKK said.

This year's events taking place for the 24th time under the motto "Mobility for everyone" will focus on the importance of the responsible choice of vehicles, the "impact of car traffic on the environment, in accidents and on the cityscape, highlighting the advantages of sustainable transport and the need to develop public transport, cycling and walking" infrastructure, the statement said.

Organisers are expecting thousands of visitors over the weekend at events held on the closed-off section of Karoly Boulevard and Szabadsag Bridge, and the Danube Embankment on the Pest side.

Great Variety of Programmes Include 

Vehicle exhibition

* Hop on the nostalgic vehicles that line Vámház Boulevard and Szabadság Bridge, including the oldest wooden-framed trams or the popular Bengali, retro trolleybuses and buses

* Sit in the tram driver's cabin and experience what it was like to signal with the track bell as a tram driver in the past.

* Take a closer look at Budapest's most modern tram, the CAF tram, which will also be operating in Hűvösvölgy from September. 

* Experience steampunk culture on Saturday on the 611 wooden tram
