Budapest’s #2 Tram is in the TOP 10, according to the National Geographic

In 2012, the NatGeo Travel Magazine wrote:
"Trams are still very much part of everyday life in Budapest, which has a total of 96 miles (155 kilometers) of tram routes. On the Pest side of the city, the #2 tram follows the curve of the Danube River. This is the best way to see the Parliament building up close and the panorama of Buda Castle across the river. Sit on the side nearest the river for the best views."

The public transport in Budapest is really good. You can reach anything in a relatively short time. But the tram #2 is special. Why?

You can see in this picture:


Yes, the tram 2 runs on the pest side of the Danube, and you can see beautiful view from its seats. (Picture originally from here.)  You dont need even to walk on the street with a city map, it is enough to jump to the tram! It comes in every 5 minutes.
