Museu da Carris, Transportation museum in Alcântara, Portugal

The Museu da Carris displays restored trams, buses, and funiculars in a former transportation station building along the Tagus River bank.

The multimedia room presents films featuring former Carris employees sharing their experiences working in Lisbon's transportation network through different decades.

Located under the 25 de Abril Bridge, the museum opens Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 18:00, with regular tram and bus connections nearby.
