This page is under construction.

In the meantime, you can check the page dedicated to cycling as well as the cycling page for international trains on the Hungarian railways (MÁV) website.

Until a more complete guide is written, you’ll find here a non-exhaustive glimpse of what some trains look like in Hungary.

Note that the MÁV website maintains an exhaustive list of train types it operates, with a photo gallery that includes the bicycle spaces and the number of bicycle spots for each vehicle type. This is an excellent resource that deserves a shoutout, as this isn’t matched by any other railway operator in Europe as far as I’m aware!

See also the VagonWEB photo gallery page for Hungary.

Intercity trains

Vintage intercity trains usually have a bicycle spot at the end of the carriage.

Regional trains

The best regional trains are likely the modern double-deckers. There are power plugs next to the bicycle spaces to charge electric bikes.
