Buenos Aires Historic Tramway

Buenos Aires Historic Tramway, Transport museum in Caballito district, Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Buenos Aires Historic Tramway is a transport museum in Caballito that displays restored trams and operates a 2-kilometer route through neighborhood streets. The vehicles span different decades and show how public transport evolved in the city.

The first streetcar began operating in Buenos Aires in 1862 and shaped how residents moved through the city for more than a century. The museum was established in 1980 to revive this important transport form after regular service ended in 1963.

The trams keep the liveries and even the signage they carried in service, so a ride shows how Buenos Aires vehicles looked decades ago. Car 258, acquired from Porto in 1980, was repainted to match the Lacroze company's cars, and car 652 reproduces the Anglo Argentina "Belgian" series. The service is run by the Asociación Amigos del Tranvía, founded in 1976.

The 2 km ride starts at the corner of Emilio Mitre and José Bonifacio in Caballito. The service runs on weekends and holidays and is free of charge. The trams are restored historic vehicles, so boarding and seating follow the original layout.

The association is named after Federico Lacroze, not the operator of the trams. It was founded on 16 July 1976 and opened the line on 15 November 1980 with a Brill tram acquired from Porto, Portugal, numbered 258 and repainted to match Buenos Aires Lacroze cars.
