Uniforms, ticket machines, model-trams and of course lots of old trams from days gone by are on show in this one-time tram depot. It’s quite a hands-on exhibition, so good for kids, but also has a few things to say about how traffic systems shaped the city - unfortunately in German mostly. But you have to catch the best part of this museum - Zurich’s oldest tram (from 1897) runs from the main train station through Bahnhofstrasse to the tram museum and back as tram N°21. It leaves every last weekend of the month from the stop Usteristrasse which doesn’t exist otherwise, just off Bahnhofstrasse next to Globus department store. Normal public transport tickets are valid.
