Europe's largest open-air railway museum, opened in 2000 in MÁV's former northern engine shed: more than 100 vehicles on 70,000 m2, from an 1870 steam engine to the "Chaika" railcar. You can climb into the cabs, ride a hand car, turn the giant turntable and even drive a locomotive with an instructor.

Good to know
- 2026 free-entry days still to come: 23 October and 1 November (the park's own list).
- A new exhibition on the legendary class 424 steam locomotive opened in July 2026.
- The Transport Museum in City Park is still closed for rebuilding, so this is where to see Hungarian railway history.
