Helsinki City Museum, Tram Museum

It is easy to let your imagination run wild in the Tram Museum. The new ‘Sisulaattori’ tram simulator lets you hop into the driver’s seat or become the conductor of a tram in Helsinki and take a journey through time. With the help of videos and sound effects, you will be transported to the exhilaration of the Olympic games, the war-time route and the Old Student House of the 1970s.

Children and playful adults can take a spin on the map of Helsinki in the play area and practice stamping tickets like they did back in the day.

On the stops, you can read and learn more about trams and Helsinki.

The museum has six tram cars including a genuine horse-drawn car from the late 19th and early 20th century, an open-backed car last used at the time of the Helsinki Olympics and the German Kummer motorised car manufactured in 1900–1901, which has later been modified into a trail coach.
The exhibition also offers a glimpse into the future of public transport.
