In the pedestrian subway/underpss below V De谩k Ferenc t茅r, with its entrance within the main ticket office, the small, revamped Underground Railway Museum traces the development of the capital鈥檚 underground lines. Much emphasis is put on the little yellow metro (M1), continental Europe鈥檚 first underground railway, which opened for the millenary celebrations in 1896. The museum is atmospherically housed in a stretch of tunnel and station, and features wonderfully restored carriages.
