Even better that the journey is available with regular public transport tickets and passes, and in addition to\u00a0tram line 2, several other lines across Budapest will be lit up, including tram 4, 14, 19, 47, 50, 56A, and 59.<\/p>\n<p>Tram 2 is the most popular amongst all as it operates along the Danube Promenade on the Pest side with the most beautiful sites of the city.<\/p>\n<p>The Winter Tram runs from early December to late January.
