When Budapest's first underground railway opened for service in 1896 it was the first of its kind on the Continent, and only the second after London.
It conveyed passengers just below street level from the City Centre to the City Park in around ten minutes. The twenty-foot wide tunnel is supported by riveted iron pillars, and the restored stations with their wooden ticket kiosks and ceramic tiled walls faithfully recall the atmosphere of a century ago.
The first set of coaches lasted in service for eighty years, and an example of one is preserved in the Underground Museum. After Budapest's second Underground line was built, a deep-tunnel construction called the Metro, the original one affectionately became known as the "Little Underground".
