    The crowds are too high for once a month. We had to wait in line for 30 minutes. They had a system and an employee who instructed us. That's quite a measure. When we were inside the hall was very large and there were lots of old trams. I would have liked to have had a board with information on each one. There was an employee about a certain car who said something about it. We didn't find that anywhere. Information at the entrance would be great. Ah, we were also in most of the trains and there was an exciting miniature design of a track on one of them. So there was a lot to experience. My conclusion is that they could even do it twice a month. More information about the railways. Otherwise very good.

    It's great how the development of the tram in Cologne is shown. Lots of explanations from organization to electrical engineering and friendly volunteers who are happy to answer any questions.

    Loving Museum of Joy from the KVB. Entry is very cheap and the exhibition was created with a lot of dedication. Unfortunately, the museum is very rarely open, so more spontaneous visits are not possible.

    I never went to the tram museum, but took the tram from Thielenbruch to the Lanxessarena.

    It's a cute little museum at the Thielenbruch terminus in Cologne. It shows the history from the horse-drawn tram to current new railway projects. It's not huge but perfectly fine for entry. Entry at 1.50 euros is very cheap. The museum is only open once a month. For an additional charge you can travel back in time to old Cologne with VR glasses.

    Great tram museum with many historic vehicles from the Cologne transport company (KVB). It's definitely worth a visit if you're interested in transport. You can have a great meal in the attached restaurant.

    (Translated by Google) The district around the Thielenbrucher Allee offers friends of the Wilhelminian style beautiful old villas and makes every heart of architecture lovers beat faster. Surrounded by old trees you will find numerous monuments of architecture from this period. A short walk through this residential area is highly recommended (Original) Das Viertel um die Thielenbrucher Allee bietet Freunden der Gründerzeit wunderschöne Altbauvillen und lässt jedes Herz von Architekturliebhabern höher schlagen. Umgeben von alten Baumbeständen finden Sie hier zahlreiche Monumente der Baukunst aus dieser Zeit. Ein kleiner Spaziergang durch dieses Wohnviertel ist sehr empfehlenswert

    Old trams from many years ago, well worth seeing. The visit was definitely worth it. Respect for the friendly volunteers. You should take a guided tour. Unfortunately it was a bit noisy in the hall and it was difficult to hear the explanations. Everyone who visits the museum should also take a look at the VR tour through old Cologne.

    The spelling of this place has given me ‘one of my heads’ - going to have a lie down. When I rise I’d like Google maps to stop asking me silly questions - rude, Moi?

  • 5/5 Oleksandr 1 month ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    Cool place, especially for those who are interested in trains/trams. The entrance costs a symbolic amount: 1.5€, but I recommend taking another 5€, because you can try VR glasses and be transported back a hundred years! There is also a restaurant at the museum. I recommend!!

    (Translated by Google) The train station is a very nice museum. Then you can relax nearby in a wooded area. The forest path is well secured and to walk. A round trip takes about 1.5 hours. Enjoy your time. (Original) Der Bahnhof ist ein sehr schönes Museum. Anschließen kann man in der Nähe in einem Waldstück entspannen. Der Waldweg ist gut befestigt und zu laufen.

    (Translated by Google) Station preserved in a classic style. There is a restaurant in the building, as well as the tram museum of the Cologne Transport Authority. The train station is located directly at the Thielenbrucher forest, which offers great opportunities for children and dogs to romp, play and splash around on the stream. One of my favorite places in Cologne! (Original) Im klassisch Stil erhaltener Bahnhof. Im Gebäude gibt es ein Restaurant, sowie das Strassenbahn Museum der Kölner Verkehrsbetriebe.

    Nice museum. Shows the history of the trams in Köln and has lots of restored trams on display. The volunteers are passionate although they might talk your ears off in passion. English sinage would be a nice addition for foreign visitors.
