Lendcanaltramway

Lendcanaltramway is a tramway museum in Klagenfurt that operates restored tram cars from different European origins on its own track system. The site includes exhibition areas and a depot where vehicles are maintained and displayed to visitors.

The museum was founded in 1976 to preserve and display tram cars from across Europe, representing different eras of public transportation history. The collection grew to include vehicles that illustrate how tram systems developed and changed over the years.

The site shows how trams once shaped daily life and public transport in the region, helping visitors understand the importance of these vehicles in Carinthia's past. Walking through the collection reveals how transportation evolved and connected communities over time.

The museum opens mainly during warmer months and offers rides on its own track network that visitors can experience firsthand. It is best to check opening hours ahead of your visit and allow time to explore the vehicles and exhibition areas at a relaxed pace.

In its early years the museum offered rides using historic horse-drawn trams, setting it apart from other transport museums in the region. These rides gave visitors a glimpse into how travel worked before electric tram systems became standard.
