Tramcar Museum

The Tramcar Museum unravels more than one hundred years of history that changed the life of Porto. Forever.

Enter an interactive journey and discover the exhibition which tells the evolution of the tramcar network of Porto.

Discover as well the new Machinery Hall of Massarelos Thermoelectric Power Plant and the collection of historical vehicles on rails.

Between lines is the permanent exhibition where history and technology intersect to tell the evolution of the electric traction network of Porto fed, in the first 45 years, by the energy produced in the century-old Massarelos Thermoelectric Power Plant.

Inaugurated in 1915, this plant was early on a location of energy production that quickly intertwined with the city.

The history of this energy flow, which surges of the thermoelectric power plant and gives rise to the movement of vehicles through the city, reflects in the Tramcar Museum and its various nuclei, stating new experiences between the lines defined in the layout of the rails or the building structures.

Experience the memory of other times aboard historical tramcars while discovering the social and economic transformations of the "Invicta” city that follow the

implementation of the rails on the transport network.

Enjoy the journey!
