Munich Trams
From horse-drawn vehicles in 1876 to electric cars over 13 lines covering 165 stations, Munich's historic tramway remains an efficient way to get around.
Munich's tramway dates back to 1876, when it operated with horsecars departing from a central hub at Karlsplatz. By 1895, electric trams were introduced and the network continued expanding. When the 1972 Olympic Games brought modernisation to the city's public transport system, the new suburban rail and metro systems posed potential threats to the historic tramway, however, the trams survived and are as popular as ever.
There are 13 daytime train lines and 4 nighttime lines, covering a total of 165 stops throughout Munich.
Operating times
The 13 daytime lines operate daily from 4:45 am to 1:30 am, and the 4 nighttime routes run daily from 1:30 am to 4:30 am.
