Tips & Advice

  • Allow about half an hour for the full round trip from Jakominiplatz to Laudongasse and back on the historic tram.
  • Be at your stop early, because seats are limited and no one can board once the Advent-Bim is full.
  • Have something ready for the voluntary donation, which is what you give in return for a ride on the decorated vintage tram.
  • You can board and get off at any stop along the route, so you don't need to ride the whole loop.
  • For a free ride any time of year, take the Altstadtbim between Hauptplatz and Jakominiplatz, plus one stop beyond each end.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Extra daytime runs on Christmas Eve, December 24.
