Those who board tram line 2 embark on a panoramic ride along Pest’s Danube bank right across the contemporary National Theater and the Palace of Arts. Along this scenic trip, the antiquated streetcar passes by the Parliament, provides great views over the Buda Hills, stops by Budapest’s statuesque spans (including the Chain Bridge and the Liberty Bridge), and provides many other close-up views of city life, making the journey feel like an inexpensive sightseeing trip.
