Ikarus 256 is a bus mass-produced by the Hungarian company Ikarus from 1977 to 2002. The bus was a modernization of the Ikarus 255 model. This model was almost completely unified with the Ikarus 250 model, but the body length was one meter shorter and amounted to 11 meters. Compared to the Ikarus 250 and Ikarus 255, the 256th model became much more comfortable and had many new features and functions inherent in modern tourist buses. The bus can operate both as an intercity bus and as a tourist bus.
