- The tour consists of two parts: first, studying the exhibits in the museum, where everything is typical—historical documents, facts, models. - Then, you are taken on a vintage tram to another building on the premises, where you can see old trams (real ones, you can even go inside and explore some of them), engines, and learn about production details. - There was a group of children before us—they were just thrilled with everything that was happening. And we also really enjoyed it. A bit annoying was the wait between the first and second part, as they wait for a group to gather, but no wait at initial entry. But in both buildings, there are places to sit (though not many), and there is also a restroom. But it’s worth it—fun and positive!

A lovely little museum. My family and I got there late one afternoon and had almost the entire place to ourselves. The first part of the museum recounts the history of public transportation in Lisbon while the second part consists of the garage where they keep the vintage buses and trams. Linking the two parts of the museum is a mini tram route. The driver is extremely friendly and even asked if either my daughter and I would like to have a go with the controls. To my eternal shame I was overcome with shyness and turned him down; a decision I still regret! But it's a fantastic little place. There are some great vehicles, some of which you can go inside, and the people working there are lovely.

Recently re-opened post COVID, this small museum inside the Tram Depot was a great find. Entry was c. €5 with a range of exhibits showing the history of the Carris transport operator, before you board the original No.1 tram from 1901. This then drives you around the yard to a second part of the museum which has several teams and busses of different vintages. Once done, the tram takes you back to the entrance. It was worth the entry for the special tram ride alone! A good hit for younger children interested in vehicles/transport.

Cool little museum that's not too far from many of the museums in Belém. It's the company's museum, so it has some interesting history about the company itself, not just the trams. Things like the company music band and the ticket printing operation. Visitors are able to climb into many of the trams and buses, so the kids will enjoy that aspect a lot. The tram ride from the main museum to the warehouse where they keep the trams and buses is a fun feature for the already inexpensive price of admission.

This is a special museum run by the transportation company. What’s interesting is the location appears to be used for also servicing some of the trams that are in use today. What I was not expecting was, once you purchase the ticket they take you to the warehouse that houses all the retired trains on display via a short tram ride! What a treat! If you like teams and buses, this museum is a must. I can’t think of places like this anywhere else in the world.

Das Museum beherbergt eine große Auswahl an historischen Straßenbahnen und Bussen. Interessanterweise wurde die Carris ursprünglich 1870 in Rio de Janeiro gegründet, bevor sie ihren Hauptsitz nach Lissabon verlegte. Die Geschichte der Lissaboner Bahnen begann 1873 mit Pferdebahnen. Im Jahr 1901 wurde die Carris dann auf elektrischen Antrieb umgestellt. Das Museum besteht aus zwei Teilen, dem ersten, informativen Teil und dem zweiten, dem Depot. Anhand von alten Fahrkarten, Netzplänen, alten Uniformen, Modellen wird die Geschichte der Lissaboner Bahnen im ersten Teil der Ausstellung vorgestellt. Danach warten wir auf unseren Fahrer, der uns mit der kleinen, rot-weiß lackierten Straßenbahn Nr. 1 aus dem Jahr 1901 abholt und zu Teil zwei des Museums, dem Depot, transportiert. Wir haben freie Platzwahl, denn wir sind die einzigen Gäste. Wir genießen den alten Vintage-Charme mit Holzvertäfelung, gepolsterten Sitzplätzen, Bedienungshebel aus Messing, alten Lampen. Der Fahrer gibt uns Zeit, einen Platz zu wählen. Die Fenster in den Holzrahmen sind nach oben geschoben, der Wind weht und los geht die kurze Fahrt zum Depot. Hier stehen sehr viele, gepflegte, historische Trams und Busse, von denen viele betreten werden dürfen. Ein sehr schönes, empfehlenswertes Museum.
