Guided Story

Can you smell that mix of old metal and oil? That's the scent of history. Look around, and you'll see that each tram here is more than just a vehicle. Behind you, on the left track, there's a tram that once clattered through Munich's bustling streets, back when horses and carriages were still a common sight. Did you know some of these vehicles were used as mobile air raid shelters during World War II? They were more than just means of transport. If you look up, you can see the high ceilings that echo the sounds of the past. Each vehicle has its own story, and some even carried passengers during the 1972 Olympics, when Munich was in the global spotlight.
