Museum of Public Transport Prague

Old trams and buses

Michal from Prague

About me I am a chemist (PhD, DSc, etc.), semi-retired, trying to make it as a photographer. Born in Prague, with about 20 years in US, I'm now back in Prague almost full time.

"The "Museum of Public Transport" in Prague allows you to touch the history of the city. You can even rent out an old tram and driver and go for a ride!"

For the technically inclined, you may have seen the old tramway during your walks through Prague center. But you would be surprised how many different models of trams, trolleybuses and buses were used for public transportation - and you can see them all in this museum. And if you feel like it, and have enough cash, you can also rent an old tram and driver for your round trip through Prague (beer, wine, and music may be on board as well). But even just visiting this place will let you feel like you are touching (and you really can touch) the history of Prague...

The only drawback is the fact that the museum is open only from April to November and only on Saturday and Sunday and state holidays (but you can rent the tram any day after calling them...)

About me I am a chemist (PhD, DSc, etc.), semi-retired, trying to make it as a photographer. Born in Prague, with about 20 years in US, I'm now back in Prague almost full time. Why Prague I have traveled the world quite a bit (never been to Antarctica) but Prague is so unique that I was always excited to come back here. There is a plethora of places where tourists will always congregate, but you can find beautiful places worth visiting which are not mentioned in books by Lonely Planet, and where you will enjoy being without too many people taking selfies. ...

Libeňský Most

Widely discussed object

Modernist, cubist "Libeňský Most" in Prague has never been reconstructed... I like the contrast it creates with the surrounding nature.
