Was a favourite museum of the kid in Lux. But when we came there last time, there was an awful female employee which first said to our kids that this is not a playground and they should take this into account. I do not know how this should be understood, but 4 previous times it was allowed to move the steering wheel and use beep. If this was never allowed, then most helpful it would be to indicate at the entrance what can be done and what is expressly forbidden. If "driving" a tram is not allowed, then 50% of kid's joy is gone away. Specifically to mention: when we tried to eat an apple in the main hall, but aside of trams, this women immediately came and started to literally shout "Out! Go out! No picnic here". We felt insulted and left. Even though we were not completely right, it could have been told politely and we would not hesitate to put the apples back to the bag. The kid started to cry upon departure - ! I came back to say this to the woman when suddenly she forgot all her English (though initially she herself at the entrance asked which language to speak to us and was talking in English). She even said that as we are in Luxembourg she will now only speak French or Luxemburgish (no, really?!). And as I was explaining how she hurt my kid, she was trying to overshout me. First time I see such an unpolite person in Luxembourg. Such people should not work with people and especially with kids. People are a little bit more fragile than trams (which she is seemingly used to interact with)

I love Museums, so take it with a grain o salt. Also i am a foreigner, so if you are a Luxermborgoise, my background and POV is too different of someone that deal with its public infrastructure daily. This museum is not too welcoming for people that are completely unaware to the local languages, so if you do not have a grasp on them, maybe just go to see nice things and old pictures. I also do not have a lot of knowledge on Luxembourg language, but I do know some Flemish and French, so I can read and infer some of the letters and context of photos (and I read a lot of History/geschidenis) This museum is more a collective memory on how the public transport system developed in Luxembourg. If you are a tram, bus or public transport enthusiast this is a wonderful place. If you are a kid or someone that likes the early 1900 aesthetics this is an inspirational site. If you are a mechanical engineering egghead, it is also a wonderful place to visit and see some motors and tools of old. But if you are interested in castles and other topics of Luxembourg, maybe this is not your cup of tea... Anyway great free museum to stop by.

  • Roadmaster '93

Interesting exposition about the history of the tram in Luxemburg, with nice staff and best of all free entry. Unfortunately the area with the preserved vehicles is way too crammed, which makes it difficult to take a look at them and take good photos. Also it is only possible to enter some old trams, but none of the stored buses. The exposition itself is a large collection of old items, pictures, documents and models, displayed in a chronological order, however with almost no explanations. This (understandably) doesn't seem to attract too much visitors. If the whole concept of this museum was improved I think it could become a real attraction, but it still seems to be stuck in the past times when Luxembourg didn't really care about its public transportation. In this state the museum is only recommended for transportation enthusiasts who want to learn about the history of Luxembourg's trams.

  • Olga Kovalenko

Definitely recommend visiting the Tram Museum. The museum has a collection of photographs, as well as a huge number of exhibits relating to different years of the development of the engineering industry. Various types of tram driver uniforms, all kinds of automatic machines, models of transport, and accessories are presented in the museum. But the most exciting part is the old trams, where you can sit, touch everything and even ring the bell to stop. It is a rarity when a museum allows you to see everything so closely. Special thanks to the lady museum curator for tips and information.

  • Michael Cravatte

Un beau musée gratuit avec des tramways anciens, un bus et plein de modèles réduits du matériel de la ville de Luxembourg, principalement anciens. Pas de bus ou trams modernes. On aimerait pouvoir faire un voyage dans ces trams à l'occasion mais les voies du musée s'arrêtent à l'extérieur du musée. Pour le parking, ne pas avoir peur de la barrière automatique. Je pensais que c'était fermé, mais en fait non. Il faut demander un jeton au musée pour sortir par contre. :)

I took my toddler there on a Saturday. It was very quiet, which is great for the little one to explore on his own. If you are a big fan of old trams, or if your little one is fascinated by trams/trains, then this is a place for you. It is not a huge museum, so it won’t take you very long. This museum does remind me of the National Railway Museum in York, UK. Really chuffed to see these one machines are well kept.

Très beau musée manque de traduction au niveau des panneaux explicatifs. Je viens avec la recommandation de Doc Seven sur YouTube. On apprend plein de chose et on peut visiter l'intérieur des wagons voir leurs mécanique il y est rassembler de nombreux documents très intéressant Je recommande La visite dure un peu plus d'une 1h. On en apprend plein de choses sur les bus les tramways du tramway hippomobiles au tramway électrique. De plus l'entrée ets gratuite mais on peut verser un pourboire à la sortie !

  • Matthew Geier

I like trams, so biased. Text is only in Luxembourgish so with out a local to translate you will miss a lot of explanation. But nicely presented photographs and models an nicely presented pair of tram motor cars and trailer cars. One motor was being repainted at. Our visit. Would like to have seen them operating on the 50m of track they have in front of the custom built depot/museum.

That's one of the most favorite museums of our 4 y.o. son, there were times when we visited it 2-3 times a month Unfortunately, at the moment the tramways are closed and you can't climb inside (the sign says that it's due to impolite use without any delicacy for the exposition), but I hope they will be opened again one day, since they contribute a lot to museum interactivity ❤️

Чесно, була тільки 1 раз. Але й так дуже сподобалося. Місце більше для підлітків та дорослих. Бо має бути терпіння все не поспішаючи оглянути, прочитати, подумати, порівняти. Невелика площа, але все детально показано та розподілено по відділам. Дуже тепло всередині. Можна приїздити грітися зимою, а потім мандрувати далі по своєму маршруту.

Very friendly staff. Entry is free. Amazing miniature replicas with great details. Lots to discover, would be great for kids. Very detailed and historical accurate descriptions with a lot of visuals. Takes approximately 1h45 minutes to take it all in. We took great pictures inside the bigger replicas. Would visit again.

Interesting full history of Luxembourg trams and buses actually. - free to enter - lots of parking next to it - can enter some real trams but unfortunately not the buses - very nice models of trams and buses - good self guided tour layout based on the years - nothing else around/walking distance so this one is a must with a car

Unfortunately all of the vehicles are closed for visit, due to "disrespectful handling of the vehicles" by previous guests. I wonder if they couldn't have found a better solution (eg security cameras). Was hoping for it to be a fascinating visit for my daughter and left quite disappointed.

Perfect place to understand the history of Luxembourg public transportation. Entry is completely free. This place is not much famous and when we visited, there were only few visitors. It also contains train and bus coaches from old time and you can seat inside them for a while to have the feeling. you can also view tickets from different time. Very interesting place for 2-3 hours.

  • Kamal Dhawan

Lovely museum just half a kilometre from a intercity bus stop. Got a glimpse of how the transportation changed in recent history. Entry ticket is free as well. So in all a nice place to go for tourists who have interest in history or crafts or even those who want to have few nice photographs and want to save some money.

  • claudia catasti

Le musée est très bien entretenu. Il est gratuit. Juste dommage qu'il n y ait pas un guide pour tout nous expliqué mais si non on a passé un bon moment et on a vu des chose de quand on été petit. Ça nous a fait trop plaisir

Beautiful place with lots of history. Was nice to be able to climb aboard some of the trams and buses and sit down even behind the wheel. Free entry was nice, staff very nice and welcoming and patient with my bad french. Worth a visit and see how public transport has changed over the last 100+ years.

Kleines, informatives Museum über die Geschichte von Straßenbahn und Bus in Luxemburg Stadt. Nettes Personal (Deutsch, Französisch, Englisch, Niederländisch,...). Es ist auch möglich, ein paar Souvenirs zu kaufen (Achtung keine Kartenzahlung). Öffnungszeiten am Donnerstagnachmittag bzw am Wochenende.

  • Jo Fretz

Wir hatten das „Tramway Museum“ an einem Samstag Nachmittag besucht. Es war nicht viel los und der Eintritt war kostenlos. Das Museum selbst war sehr interessant und es gibt vieles zu lesen und zu entdecken. Selbst in die alten Trams kann man einsteigen und sich hinsetzen. Absolut empfehlenswert!

  • Omar Fenech

Really nice and well taken care of museum. It’s small enough to see it all in an hour and the kids will love it. Entrance is free, you just need ti give a donation in the end which is not obligatory.
