How to Ride the Metro in Budapest

Video Transcript

"Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen. My name is Sarah Satmari and I'm a tour guide in Budapest and I work for Yellow Zebra / Absolute Tours, and we are here on behalf of Expert Village. And now, a few words about those places where you can take the best photos of Budapest. First of all, if I can recommend you a place where you can start your trips, and that's the Deak Square, definitely the Deak Square. Deak Ferenc Ter in Hungarian, the most frequented square where everyday all the youngsters and all the average Hungarians locals meet and where all the metro lines of ours cross each other: the red line, the blue line and the yellow line. Actually the yellow line is not a metro line, believe it or not, that's an underground line. Sometimes we name it the small underground, or the millennium underground, or simple as that, the yellow underground. Why? Just because that was the first underground to be built on the continent of Europe in 896 and believe it or not, the very first passenger of it was Emperor Francis Josef himself, who ruled here during the time of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy for all together 68 years. Now he was the very first passenger of this line so you can easily feel like real royalties if you try this line out at once and go to the Hero Square where you can get off and see the lovely monuments on the Hero Square."
