Through Munich's municipal transport company website only — the schedule is published for the year ahead and usually covers a handful of weekends between spring and autumn, sometimes with special events. There are no fixed weekly hours at all. If you are in Munich for a few days, the chance of coinciding with an opening day is low — do not build a plan around it.

Munich's municipal transport museum occupies a former tram depot in the south of the city, presenting the history of public transport there from horse-drawn carriages in the nineteenth century to the present: around twenty-five vehicles including trams, buses and underground carriages. The vehicles are displayed whole and many can be entered and sat in — which is what makes it work particularly well with children. The old trams with their wooden benches and hand bells give a direct sense of how moving through the city felt a century ago. The essential constraint is practical and decisive: the museum does not open daily but on specific, limited days through the year — usually a handful of weekends spread across the season. Anyone wanting to visit must plan around its published schedule, and arriving without checking most likely means a locked door.
