In Chamartín, the Museo de Trenes Históricos de Metro de Madrid welcomes visitors with guided tours. The exhibition brings together 12 restored carriages.
The first Semana del Tren brings together different stages in the history of the underground. The vehicles on display range from the network's earliest trains to models from the 1960s. Some remained in service until 1991. This tour offers a chance to explore the evolution of public transport in Madrid through its own trains.
