The Tram Museum in Amsterdam (Electrische Museumtramlijn Amsterdam) is a unique opportunity to go back in time for a moment.
On the territory of the museum there are 60 trams from various European cities: Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Groningen, Vienna, Prague, including the trams of Amsterdam. All exhibits were built between 1904 and 1960.
Most of this collection is currently out of service. In addition to the original models of this transport presented to the general public, the museum offers 2 tourist routes.
Historic tram routes
Traveling on a historic tram has two options:
- Route 20: Every Sunday in July, August and September, everyone is invited to a trip around Amsterdam. A specially designed route allows the visitor to see the city in all its splendor: dancing houses, parks, museums, etc.
