Railway Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away near Belgrade's main train station, the Railway Museum feels like a well-kept secret for transport enthusiasts and curious wanderers alike. It’s a place where Serbia's history is told not through kings or battles, but through the relentless chug of locomotives and the romance of the rails. You won't find sprawling, impersonal halls here; instead, the atmosphere is intimate, almost like discovering a hidden archive. The charm lies in its focused dedication to a single, powerful force that shaped the nation.
Collection Highlights
The star of the show is undoubtedly 'Ćira,' a majestic steam locomotive from 1925 that seems to breathe history. Alongside it, you'll find everything from delicate porcelain dining car sets and vintage conductor uniforms to beautifully preserved official documents. A collection of detailed model trains offers a charming, miniature perspective on rail travel.
Visitor Information
