A few weeks ago we visited Vasut Torteneti Park, aka The Train Park. In retrospect, I cannot comprehend how did we not go there earlier, after all we have heard about the place since our year one in Budapest. It has everything we can ask for: it’s a well kept park, with a variety of old trains, plus showrooms of model trains, plus food stands, plus a mini train. I mean, really, if I had to design ...
