Porto Tram Museum

This guide to the Porto Tram Museum traces the riverside power station's life from 1915, when it fed one of the Iberian Peninsula's first electrified tram networks, back to the network's own start in 1895 with mule-drawn cars along the Douro. You'll meet the oldest vehicle inside, a horse-drawn Carro Americano built near Birkenhead, and follow the network's growth to over eighty kilometers of track before planners began favoring buses. It closes with the building's own decades in the dark before its recent reopening as a museum.
