Kingdom of Railways

Located in the Smíchov district of Prague, the Kingdom of Railways is one of the largest model railway exhibitions in Europe. The museum features detailed replicas of Czech and international train routes, some of which span several square meters. The displays include famous trains, stations, and entire towns, with trains that run on real tracks, controlled by buttons and levers for a hands-on experience. The museum also hosts themed areas that highlight different periods of railway history, from the steam era to modern high-speed trains.

While the museum is family-friendly, some of the exhibits may be most engaging for train enthusiasts or those interested in miniature craftsmanship. The museum is relatively large, so it’s easy to spend a few hours exploring all the exhibits. There are often interactive elements, such as buttons that allow visitors to control the trains, making it especially fun for children. The museum also has a shop offering train-themed souvenirs and model kits for sale.

The Kingdom of Railways is located in Prague’s Smíchov district, near the Anděl metro station (Line B). From the city center, it’s just a short tram or metro ride to the museum. Tram lines 12, 14, and 20 stop nearby at Smíchovské nádraží station, which is just a few minutes’ walk from the museum. The museum is easily accessible from popular areas like Wenceslas Square, making it convenient for tourists to visit while exploring other parts of Prague.
