Did you know that there is a train in Budapest that is almost entirely run by children? This fascinating fact is unknown to many visitors to Budapest. Following a model introduced in the former Soviet Union in the 1940s, the Children's Railway was established after World War II as a training ground for communist children. On this 11-kilometer railway, children aged 10 to 14 can complete a four-month training course to become train conductors, workers, and inspectors. All jobs are performed by children, with the exception of the station master and train drivers, who are adults. It's inspiring to see how seriously these kids take their roles. The ride takes about 45 minutes and takes you to the top of the mountain.<
