Dear travelers, it is not important that you are interested in the world of transportation.

In addition to air, land, sea and space transport, you can explore the development of telecommunications in an interactive manner.
Thanks to simulation, you can use a train, can take part in TV-radio studios and/or can explore Switzerland by walking through a giant bird’s eye view. You need days to visit all the venues in this museum completely! This is Europe’s largest and most comprehensive museum in its field. The museum was built in 1957 and completed in 1959 and has become one of the most popular museums in Switzerland.
In the museum, where aviation is located, you can see early planes, space capsules used in the first American space travel and a “moonstone”. In the railway section, many locomotives are on display.
