    This is a fascinating museum for anyone who loves any combination of Prague, transportation, engineering, or graphic design history. For a really unique, walkable, inside history tour (you walk around yourself), I highly recommend this experience - especially for families.

    Impressive colection of trams, buses and trolleys combined with detailed explanations for every exhibit. Lots of information regarding the evolution of public transport in Prague from its origins to modern era with many small replicas of the vehicles. Perfect for public transport enthusiasts, especially tram and metro fans. The only drawback is the lack of information in English through the museum, but this can solved by using google translate. Moreover you can take for free a brochure called “A Concise Guide to the Public Transportation Museum” which is available in multiple languages and offers explanations for every exhibit.
