On select Sundays from spring to autumn, the BVB tram museum is open. Enjoy more than 125 years of Basel tram history in their small but fine museum with insights into everything that also belongs to public transport. Let the museum guides explain details to you, show you vintage cars in the depot, and tell you some anecdotes. Starting this year, the Settelen company's tram-omnibus cars are on permanent loan to the museum. As part of this, they are presenting a special exhibition on the gallery showcasing the history of the horse-drawn tram and its replicas. Learn, for example, why the term "Rössli-'Tram'" is actually incorrect and also how hard the daily life of the coachmen was at that time. You can also enjoy guided tours of the vintage tram workshop and a ride in the BStB's Saurer bus No. 2. (registration required).
Tram Café: On August 16 and September 20, Station Cirque also transforms a Trämmli (old tram) into a cozy café from 13:30-17:30. A visit to the museum can be combined with a drink and something to eat at Station Circus, or conversely, a visit to Station Circus can be combined with a viewing of beautiful old Trämmlis in the tram depot next door.
