Well worth the €8 ticket and I definitely got more than expected. A great display of Vienna’s transport history, and I particularly enjoyed the war-time narrative and the evolution of the uniforms and perception of transportation workers. You can also enter the silver arrow (Vienna’s first u-bahn) with transparent displays and plaques showing some of its internals, including everything in the driver’s cabin.
I would also like to appreciate the lady at the entrance who apologised for not having English handouts available but provided them for me on my way out. Thanks for the great customer service!
I would’ve rated 5 stars but unfortunately some plaques are only in German. That shouldn’t discourage your visit though as the majority of info plaques are in English as well, and only specific captions like photos and print media are in...
Read moreBest Museum I've been to!!! I felt so many emotions and it was just wonderful. I love the amount of Information you get and the transition from Horses to Metropolis. Beautiful. I'm genuinely surprised they showed the time during the 30s-40s era! (Google won't let me say the regime that took over...) Some museums, like Herresgeschichtliche, took down their 30s-40s section because "Too many 'crosses', too little context". The Bus driving experience was kind of broken, because the wheel was probably with low Sensitivity, but TramSimulator was the absolute highlight. The instructors were very funny and typical laid-back viennese Bros.
I bought a glass and U1 socks from the gift shop. I love them, and I wish I could have gotten more ^-^

Read moreWe visited this wonderful gem of a museum on a Saturday afternoon and it was not super busy, which was great! We were three adults and three children, so we opted not to have the audio tour this time; the children were excited about visiting each station, some which had interactive portions and most of which had history of Vienna and the creation of the U-Bahn and tramway system throughout the city. It was wonderful to learn about the history of Vienna as seen through the "eyes" of transportation. The children really enjoyed the simulator near the end of the tour, which let them "drive" the U-Bahn subway car through Wien! So fun!
