Vienna Transport Museum Remise, Transport museum in Landstraße, Austria
The Vienna Transport Museum Remise occupies a former tram depot at Ludwig-Koeßler-Platz in Landstraße, built in 1901 and used as a depot until 1990. Its three main halls hold 17 exhibitions across 7,700 m² and 1,810 m of track, displaying around 100 trams and city railway cars, from a horse-drawn tram of 1868 to a "Silberpfeil" U-Bahn car.
The site was originally an operating tram depot that served Vienna's transport network until it closed in 1990. The conversion to an exhibition space happened shortly after and preserves the site's industrial past.
The place reflects Vienna's pride in its transport network, which has connected the city across generations. Visitors see how trams and buses became part of daily life and continue to shape how the city moves.
The museum occupies three main halls with 17 exhibition stations, so allow time to move between them. The former depot is wheelchair accessible. The site sits at Ludwig-Koeßler-Platz in the 3rd district, reachable by tram line 18, which still runs past the building.
Visitors can operate an interactive simulator that lets them experience driving a train through Vienna's subway network from a driver's perspective. This hands-on experience offers insight into a perspective that only rail staff normally encounters.
