Company outing, Home

After the PLANUM team visited Prague last year, this year’s company outing went to Budapest!
As usual, we traveled from Graz by train. During a short stopover at Vienna Central Station, our Vienna office manager joined us.

On site, we first marveled at one of the most beautiful train stations in Europe, the Keleti train station, and in addition to the transport infrastructure on land, we also tested the infrastructure on the water during a boat trip on the Danube. In glorious sunshine, we went on a guided tour of the city including the use of public transport and got to know the first metro in continental Europe, among other things. 125 years ago, on May 2, 1896, subway line 1 was opened as the first subway, the idea having come from Mór Balázs.

On the way to the parliament building, this beautiful stone pictogram lay at our feet. We also walked along a street that had been traffic-calmed four times 😉 not only by a “no entry” sign but also by bollards, barriers and camera surveillance.
In the evening, we ended the day with darts and traditional Hungarian food – lángos was a particular favorite among our group.
