Why visit

The museum occupies the tracks and warehouses of Bratislava’s first steam railway station from the 19th century. Locomotives stand on the original rails, so the site itself is part of the exhibition.

It is a branch of the Slovak Technical Museum and covers road, rail and water transport, with a focus on vehicles made or used in Slovakia.

What to see

Road transport: bicycles, motorcycles, cars and lorries from the interwar years to the 1970s, including prototypes from Slovak car plants and government vehicles.
Rail transport: steam, diesel and electric locomotives and special railway vehicles.
Railway signalling: signal, safety and communication equipment, tools and railway uniforms.
Water transport: an exhibition on shipping and boatbuilding with the tugboat Zvolen.
For children: a model railway, a replica of a traffic office and a game room.

Plan your visit

Paid admission. Allow one to two hours.

The museum is reached by the pedestrian overpass over Šancová Street or by the road from the corner of Šancová and Pražská. The main railway station is next door, so it fits easily before or after a train.
