Danish Tramway Museum, Transport museum in Jystrup, Denmark.
The Danish Tramway Museum operates two separate track systems: a 300-meter narrow-gauge section and a 1.5-kilometer standard-gauge track where restored historical vehicles run. Both lines allow visitors to ride in the preserved trams and experience how these vehicles operated.
Founded in 1978 at Skjoldenæsholm Castle grounds, the museum adapted sections of the Sjællandske Midtbane railway that stopped running in 1936. This former railway line provided an ideal setting for preserving and operating historical transport vehicles.
The museum displays trams and buses that once served Copenhagen, Aarhus, and Odense, reflecting how people moved through Danish cities in earlier times. Visitors see the vehicles that shaped urban life and public transportation across different regions.
The museum sits roughly 65 kilometers southwest of Copenhagen, requiring some travel time to reach. Rides on restored trams and vintage buses operate on specific days, so checking opening times ahead of your visit is important.
When Copenhagen's local bus company museum closed in 2003, a significant collection of vehicles was transferred to this site. This acquisition substantially expanded what could be preserved and shown to visitors.
