Why go, and how to fit it in

The museum covers tram and transport history through its tram collection and electric cars. You see old trams, electric cars, an engine room and an old power station, with the history of transport and the electric car filling in the wider story. Old trams, the old power station, the engine room and electric cars are what people talk about most, and the discount comes up often.

Tram enthusiasts will get the most from it, but anyone curious about industrial machinery or city transport will find enough to hold attention. It is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10 AM to 6 PM, and closed on Mondays. A morning start at 10 AM leaves the afternoon free for the nearby restaurants and monument.

For a meal after the visit, Restaurante 33 Alameda is 63 m away, with Capa no Rio and CAYO also close. The Chafariz do Cais das Pedras monument is 215 m from the museum.

Opening hours

It is closed on Monday. Holidays and special events can change the hours, so check on the day.
