Children’s train
On the hills of Buda, near Budapest, a unique train circulates every day, over 11 km. Its particularity? It is managed by children, as part of their extra-curricular activities. Station workers, controllers, sharpeners, these railway workers, aged 10 to 14, are on the rails of the world of work, for their greatest pleasure. But beware: this privilege is only granted to the best students in Budapest.
A thermal paradise
Much more than places of relaxation, thermal baths represent, for the Hungarians, a true art of living. In the capital, there are more than a hundred sources with medicinal properties, which remain hot all year round. A ritual to which residents and tourists cannot resist!
Granny bell ringer
For sixty years, this octogenarian has perpetuated a family tradition: twice a day, she goes to the church of her village to ring the bells. A rope in each hand, and the third at the foot! “I move my arms, legs …” Nothing like keeping shape!
