The EMT Madrid Museum, one of the city’s most niche and coveted museums, has just put tickets on sale for its 2026 visits, after selling out in previous seasons. The space, located in the Fuencarral operations center, is only open on very specific dates and times and allows visitors to explore more than 40 historic vehicles that tell the story, from the inside, of how the way we move around Madrid has changed over the last 75 years.
Among its automotive gems are the legendary Guy Arab (1947) and Leyland Titan (1957) double-decker buses, the 1966 Pegaso 6035-A (the first articulated bus to run in the capital), and the 1976 Pegaso Sava 5720 minibus, as well as more modern vehicles that represent technological milestones in Madrid’s fleet. In 2026, the big news at the exhibition is the addition of the MAN NG313F articulated bus, which is returning to the museum after a complete restoration.
In addition to the vehicles, the museum preserves old workshop machinery, engines, models, and all kinds of items related to the day-to-day running of the EMT. Visitors can see old bus stops and shelters, tram and bus seats, route signs, destination panels, plans, and maps from different periods, as well as a collection of tickets and transport passes from 1871 to the present day.

The exhibition is completed with historical uniforms of drivers, inspectors, and conductors, badges and insignia, documentation, and old photographs, in a journey that turns the history of transportation into a way of understanding the transformation of the city itself. The museum occupies some 5,000 square meters of a 1959 industrial warehouse, a well-preserved example of Madrid’s industrial architecture from the 1960s.
Calendar and how to get tickets
According to the EMT, visits in 2026 will begin on March 7 and continue until June 28, resuming after the summer between September 5 and November 29. The museum is open on weekends and public holidays, with several tours per day, and the only way to access it is by booking a place through the official ticket sales website (entradasmuseo.emtmadrid.es), which is already operational.
The experience is guided, with limited group sizes, which explains why tickets sell out quickly each season. The general admission price is €5, with reduced rates for certain groups and free admission for young children and members of the EMT Friends Association, although the specific conditions may be updated each year and can be consulted when completing the reservation.
