Have you also been hit by the smoke of the locomotive? Would you like to know where and how steam locomotives are repaired? Then join the tour of the Istvántelki Steam Workshop!

Program

Meeting: at the entrance to the Istvántelki Main Workshop (1045 Budapest, Elem utca 5-7.; GPS: 47.551682, 19.106619) between 9:45 and 10:00.

The bygone world of steam locomotives comes to life in the Istvántelki Steam Workshop. And with the interpretation of people who have dedicated their entire lives to bringing these iron horses to life, maintaining them, and restoring them. Time has stopped in the steam workshop, but life has not. It’s good that way. It’s worth a visit.
During the factory tour, guests can gain insight into the work in the steam workshop, view the vehicles stored in the workshop hall, and try out the push bench that allows trains to be moved in the hall.

Important: the visit does not include the ruined hall building known from photos spread on the Internet, which is forbidden to enter and is life-threatening!

The duration of the program is approx. 2.5 hours. We provide an audio guide for the tour. Participation is only possible after prior registration and ticket purchase. More information under the Participation fees tab.
