Underground Railway Museum, Transport museum beneath Deák Ferenc square, Budapest, Hungary
The Underground Railway Museum occupies a former tunnel section of the M1 metro line, displaying vintage carriages and transportation artifacts beneath the city streets.
Established in 1975, the museum preserves the legacy of continental Europe's first underground railway system, which began operations in Budapest during 1896.
The museum exhibits highlight Hungarian engineering achievements through original documents, photographs, and three restored railway carriages from different time periods.
Located within the main ticket office of Deák Ferenc metro station, the museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:00 and 17:00.
The marble plate inside the museum records Emperor Franz Joseph's underground railway journey on May 8, 1896, during Budapest's millennial celebrations.
