About this audio guide
This guide to the Tram Linha 1 terminus at Passeio Alegre in Porto opens in 1994, when Porto's last riverside tram rolled into this same spot and the tracks fell silent. It traces the network's decline from eighty-one kilometers of track in the 1940s down to barely fourteen, and the small museum that opened across the river in 1992 to keep the old wooden cars from being scrapped. Listen for the driver's bell, still rung at this same terminus today.
