A ride on our classic trams and buses
Every year in September, to celebrate CARRIS’ Anniversary, the Museum’s Classic Trams and Buses go out into the street and take many visitors on a Lisbon tour! The curious can participate on the tram tour or watch the parade as it goes through the streets of Lisbon.
2024 MUSEU DA CARRIS CLASSICS PARADE
As part of the celebrations for the 152nd anniversary of CARRIS and the 25th anniversary of the Museu da Carris, on 21 September 2024 the Museu da Carris will hold the 2024 Museu da Carris Classics Parade, departing from Santo Amaro station towards Algés and returning to Santo Amaro at 10.30am and 4pm.
Tickets for the parade will be sold exclusively through the BOL online ticket office, through a page dedicated to the Museu da Carris Classics Parade, where you will find the timetables and the vehicles available.
The 2024 Museu da Carris Classics Parade is an opportunity to travel back to the beginning of the 20th century, aboard Tram Open Saloon no. 283, Tram Closed Saloon no. 330, Tram no. 444 or T1. You can even try out Tram no. 535, one of the first trams built by CARRIS workshops, or get to know Tram no. 802, which was in service in the city of Lisbon when trams were the preferred public transport. This year’s big surprise will be the participation of Tram no. 741, an emblematic ‘box’ from 1947. It may also be time to discover the themed trams featuring traditional national elements and techniques – cork, Arraiolos tapestry and Madeira embroidery: nº744, nº745 and nº713. These are unique examples that you will rarely be able to travel in.
This year, Classics Parade includes Bus No. 301, a 1957 double-decker AEC, and Bus No. 1001, from 1975, a classic ‘orange’ bus that we saw travelling around the city in the 1980s and which produces a bit of nostalgia for those times.
The day of the Museu da Carris Classics Parade is a day of celebration and tradition, so once again we’re counting on performances by the Employees’ Music Band, Banda da Carris before each ride, and other surprise ingredients
