Museu da Carris
Museu da Carris at Estação de Santo Amaro in Alcântara explores the history of Lisbon’s public transport network.
The museum is based at Estação de Santo Amaro on Rua 1.º de Maio and tells the story of Carris through two exhibition sections. Its collection includes trams and buses. The official website confirms public opening and presents educational activities, visits and workshops for children, schools and families.
It is in the Alcântara neighbourhood. If you have time, LX Factory is 3 minutes on foot. On a rainy day, swap for Museu do Oriente, the closest indoor option.
