Vienna Tramway Museum
The Vienna Tramway Museum (Wiener Tramwaymuseum), also affectionately known as the Remise, is a true paradise for technology lovers, history buffs and families. Housed in a former tram depot in Favoriten, the museum has one of the largest collections of historic tram vehicles in the world. The more than 100 carefully restored vehicles range from the first horse-drawn tram car of 1868 to modern U-Bahn (subway) trains. Each exhibit offers an authentic look at Vienna's decades on the move and tells the city's history from an unusual perspective. The detailed information on each vehicle is particularly impressive – many can be boarded, and some can even be experienced interactively. Multimedia stations, children's areas and changing special exhibitions make a visit worthwhile all year round. You learn not only all about the technical development of the trams, but also how public transport and the city changed as a result. A special tip: on selected Sundays and public holidays, the museum offers nostalgic special rides through Vienna on historic trams. Children can learn in a playful way at interactive stations how people used to ride the tram, and there is also a dedicated area for birthday parties. The friendly atmosphere, the dedicated staff and the spacious outdoor area with food and drink invite you to stay longer.
