Porto Tram Museum

A 20 minute walk along the riverside from the central Porto area, or alternatively you can take the historic tram (any tram ticket gets 30% off the entry fee). This building is very impressive, being the old power station used to provide electricity to the trams. Inside there is a large collection of their vehicles through the years, showing how they evolved, all are very well preserved and have interesting information about them - in English and Portuguese. There is also access to the old power station side, where the generators, transformers, and other equipment needed are still present. Interesting to read about how this came about and was used. Overall worth a visit, especially paired with the walk or tram ride

A very nice museum to look at the trams and to learn all about them. Cheap and affordable.. The staff are very friendly too. One of the staff also helped me find the way to Campanhã from the museum. Worth the visit

Full admission price is perhaps a little high at 8 euros but half price for over 65's was good value. A friendly museum with a selection of historic trams and remnants of the electric generation and transformer hall.

A few kilometers outside Porto's city center is the Tram Museum (Museu do Carro Eléctrico do Porto). Housed in the former Massarelos thermal power station, the museum features an extensive collection of trams and offers a tour of the old power station. The museum falls under the category of technical or industrial heritage and is, of course, accessible by tram (line 1 from the Infante stop at the foot of San Francisco Church). It's interesting, fun and different from what the Historic Center has to offer!

The tram museum is a must when visiting Porto. It has some lovely exhibits and is really interesting! The staff were friendly, and the gift shop is great. It's also priced perfectly.

A good place to learn history of trams of Porto. Also in the upper floor you can see old electricity Power plant. Its a small place you can experience all stuff around an hour.

A lovely little experience. A must see for tram lovers as another review put it. A real nerd spends around 90 minutes in here. It includes a hall with trams and busses from 1870 to 1950 and another hall with a power station. Entrance at 4 Euro for students, under 18 or over 65 is very fair. 8 Euro is less fair but still worth it. There is a free audio guide on your phone too.

Absolutely worth a visit! The history was very interesting, and there a lot of great small details. There was an audio guide on your phone (no need to download an app). And tons of old trams as well as the old power stations to look at. Everyone working there was also absolutely lovley, and I was able to ask a tone of questions about the exhibit. I spent about one hour there, I am sure it would be possible to spend much more time there. Even thought it's not very large, there is a lot of railway history to discover, especially with the student discount I got.

We enjoyed it. If you're looking for an overview of the history of the Trams and Trolley cars of Porto, this is the place to get it. We paid the senior (65) rate of €4 each to get in. We spent about 30 minutes but you could easily spend an hour or more here. We saw 20 or so, restored cars as well as components of older power plant systems that power the system. When we're done, we hopped aboard the tram to Infante to walk around the river area. You buy tram tickets on the train and can pay using cash or credit.
