This is the place to go to if you’re interested in old buses and trams. Carris is the public transport company of Lisbon and this museum tells its history in three locations. You’ll be carried from one location to the other in a vintage tram. The second and third location showcases a lot of old buses and trams etc. Really interesting.

If you have any interest in public transport, then this is the place for you!

This museum is housed in the tram depot. Three main sections to visit with a complimentary ride on an old tram to get between the sites. As we were the only people there at the time, we enjoyed our own private ride around the depot. Not only are there trams to see but also buses.

Nice museum for those who are interested in how public transport in Lisbon has evolved, with an emphasis on local rail transport. There are (at least) two parts, one with historic information, the other where one can see some old and newer rolling stock. Unfortunately the latter part was closed for some event on the day of my visit, so I could only watch from a distance. At least they waived the entrance fee of €2,00. All in all interesting, despite the fact that everything was very passive; no tour, the one corner where there was evidence of a video presentation, was not working. I definitely picked the wrong day.…
