Porto Tram Museum, Tramway museum in Massarelos, Portugal

The museum displays a collection of 16 electric trams, 5 trailers, and maintenance vehicles within a former thermoelectric power station by the Douro River.

The building originated as a power plant in 1915, generating electricity for Porto tram network until the 1960s before transforming into a museum in 1992.

The museum preserves tram driver uniforms and photographs that document the professional lives of transport workers throughout different periods in Porto.
