Pay attention to the so-called British tram. He got Porto as a gift from one of the British companies. It is interesting that there is not only Portuguese transport here. A large number of exhibits carried people many years ago to the cities of the Czech Republic, Italy, America and the UK

There are even cars and cars in the Museum of trams that used to repair the tracks. In addition, old tickets are presented here.

By the way, most of the trams in the museum look very beautiful - they are elegant and very cute. Interestingly, in some for protection from the sun were made special fabric blinds. By the way, practically in all trams the driver had to stand during work. Only after 1950 began to produce trams with a driver's seat

Interestingly, there are only three tram routes in Porto - 1, 18, 22. Keep in mind that the most cool route (No. 1) runs along the ocean. Ride - it's worth it!
