Electric trams parade is back in Porto on 4 May

The waterfront of Porto will host the traditional parade organized by The Tramway Museum on 4 May, between 3pm and 6pm. The event involves more than 10 historic vehicles that will display the glory of past times along the coastal streets of Porto. These will be joyful and fun moments aboard the trams and in the museum.   

Tickets can be purchased in the museum or in the tram and cost six euros, adult fee, and five euros for children aged four to twelve years, which include a round-trip from the stop socket at Rua do Infante D. Henrique, a break at the museum and then to Jardim do Passeio Alegre.

On the very same day, the Museum will open from 3pm to 6pm, with guided-tours and actors role playing historic characters and multiple surprises.

This event is held annually since 1992 and the main goal is to tell stories about the days when this one-hundred years old electric freight cars were used to transport coal from the mines in São Pedro da Cova to the new power plant in Massarelos. The first electric freight trams were indicated as Zorras.
