Video: Christmas Tram In Budapest During Festive Season

• 30 Dec 2025 10:38 AM

The festive light fleet is one of Budapest's most beautiful and cherished Advent attractions year after year. The decorated trams, trolleybuses, and buses bring a special, warm atmosphere to the winter weekdays.

Illuminated with kilometers of light strings, these vehicles are not only beautiful but also turn your journey into a real experience, whether you are traveling on your usual route or hopping on for a special festive activity.

In 2025, in addition to the traditional Light Tram (Fényvillamos) and the Santa Trolleybus (Mikulástroli), there will be five other sparkling trams, a cogwheel railway (fogaskerekű) decked out in festive lights, and the Santa Bus (Mikulásbusz) in operation.

You can travel on all these services using a normal fare structure, meaning if you have a valid ticket or monthly pass, you do not need to purchase a separate ticket to board.
