Interesting place if you are here when it is open( the second weekend of every month). The entrance is free, we booked the tickets in advance but nobody checked them. There is like a market with lots of stuff inside also but the prices are very big. The trains are interesting and well maintained.

Locomotives telling the history of Spanish Railway. Rooms exhibiting railway tracks, tools, pictures and clothes give you more details on how things were in the past. A room with three train scale models is also part of visit. We visited Saturday around midday. During week it costs 6 euros. Weekend 3 euros. No queues. A nice flea market selling old toys in two platforms. We spend around 1.5 hours there.

Un sitio ideal para ir con niños. Hay trenes de todas las épocas, en algunos se puede entrar para ver el interior, la locomotora, etc. Hay una pequeña sala con unas maquetas que funcionan y son preciosas. También, en otra estancia hay una colección de trenes se todas partes del mundo que es impresionante. Fuera hay un pequeño jardín y se puede sacar un tiquet para subir en unos mini trenes muy chulos pero esto no abre todos los días.

Great place for railway lovers with over 20 items on display. Went on a Saturday and a flea market was there so entrance was free

I liked it. Can't say the same about my wife or my daughters though 😂. It's interesting to see steam locomotives and some fancy reason carriages belonging to rich or important people. Reminds you of a time when train was the most advanced transport mean. Access into a few of the locomotives or carriages is allowed. I wish there were more. Though this is not on the top-10 places to see in Madrid, I would give it a try if you're out of ideas. Random fact: tickets were more expensive compared to some nicer museums.

Visited during the market on Saturday, spent there whole afternoon. Very cool place to shop some original gems, to have a drink or eat something nice.

I loved this and the market that occurs every second Saturday.

What an absolute gem of a museum but not all exhibits have English translation. Excellent exhibit about OLE which I have never seen in any other rail museum. Only €3 to get in.

It's nice, I love trains but too little information in English. Even the QR code provided doesn't have any English information on Google Arts. Anyway, it would have been nice if inside the trains could be visited as well not just from the outside. I also feel like because of the COVID, some facilities have been closed like the Cafeteria and the outer courtyard.

I had the best guide in my long whole life: Luis G. Legido. Been there twice in the past, but never enjoyed it so much as this time with the guided tour. Trains are magnificent! Although quite big it should be a bigger museum!

Extremely interesting railroad museum in a beautiful, historic Madrid train station. We did not know about this before arriving in the city! Great selection of locomotives and rolling stock from the mid-1800s through the 20th century.

Visitar el museo ya es obligado para cualquiera que visite Madrid; mucho más con niños. El Tren de Navidad, un paseo de una hora en un vagón de madera en perfecto estado es una maravilla. Lo que recomiendo sobre todo es tomarse un café en el vagón cafetería que hay estacionado.

Great place to visit ! Perfect instagram place for an afternoon

Incredible, make sure you check out the Talgo 2. Best train out there. Best train bar none!

Entrance: 6€, reductions available (kids, students, etc.) A lot of trains, few big models (whole railways with electricity and running trains) and also hundreds of models of trains. It was possible to go inside few of those trains. Too bad it is impossible to go inside more of those. Also: entrance outside (there were more trains) was closed and prohibited. Anyway cool to see.

The Railway Museum is converted to a market one Saturday per month. The old trains are the supporting structure for the market. You can tour some trains, eat in some, and find stalls set up in front of others selling crafts, artisan food, and clothing for men, women and children. Behind the station there are food trucks. The food is somewhat pricey. You will also find food and resale items outside on the right of the entrance. Another feature of the market is live music and dancing. The music made the market come alive.

Great museum, kids really enjoyed, lots of different trains , one floor is full with toy trains , I recommend this place a lot.

Absolutely superb. A fantastic morning out and a great place to grab lunch. All the benefits were exceptionally friendly. A must see!

Lots of trains. Some reviews said they don't have English translations but when I visited (Aug 23) they do for all the trains, it's just missing for some of the smaller exhibits in the side rooms. It's an old converted train station, and lots of detailed information about the trains. I finished everything in around an hour. If you're interested in train history you'll like it! I wish more of the trains were open/accessible, as in the Sacramento train museum for example.

Once a month they have a market full of shops from home made crafts, antiques, live music, unique selection of food and more. Great place to bring your kids and if you’re looking for a place to have a wonderful time with friends and family, this is would be great the place!

Second weekend each month is a huge flea market and food trucks a little expensive but tasty. Trains are pretty cool...

Absolutely gorgeous place for children. My 4 year old daughter fell in love with the trains and miniatures. There was also a mini train to ride outside the building - funny and unique experience. The ticket was 5 euro per adult and free for her.

A rare glimpse into the past. It's a nice place to visit if you are into old trains and such. There are various railway related items exhibited in the waiting rooms that worth to visit. Also, there is a room where model trains are on show presenting the history of trains from steam to bullet trains. My favourite piece is a steam engine cut up in a way that shows the inner working parts of the locomotive. It's like an exploded drawing but in 3D. Maybe it's my fault but I didn't find any written explanations or guides about the technical details of the trains or what they did what they were capable of. None the less I enjoyed being there. The trains are not moving so it's a fairly safe place for kids too.

Magical place, we couldn't help but imagine ourselves living back in the 19th century and traveling in one of those marvelous trains....and they even had a musical play today about the Orient express

I like this place as an adult person. However, I went there to see if I could bring some kids there. The answer is no for young kids because most of the old train locomotives on display were not allowed to be climbed or entered by visitors. With many plaques for people to read, it will certainly kill the interests for kids.

My small toddler is in a phase where he loves vehicles, and he absolutely enjoyed this museum. For the adults, it's also pretty cool to see and learn about the various trains that were in operation throughout the years.

Free admission, possibly because of the artisan market going on at the time. The trains are beautifully kept and there are information boards about all of them. You can go into the control area of some.

Petit musée pas trop cher qui permet de voir l'histoire du train en Espagne. De nombreux trains sont exposés.

Few hours on Saturday at Railway Museum was fun to look at the old trains and carts. We liked set up with market vendors stalls along the old train station and locomotives. Outside it was flea market and plenty of food to try. Good place for sunny or rainy day. Flea market offered a lot of vintage and antique items, as well as from more recent times especially for those who like music memorabilia, and of course, clothes.

Beautiful collection of trains starting from the first steam engines, first electric locomotives to the first diesel motors.

A really great museum, showing the evolution of trains and engines since the 19th century. In my opinion it is a must-see attraction if you go to Madrid. Unfortunately since we only had 1 hour, we didn't get to look at everything, so I would recommend at least 2 hours for a visit in this museum.

Growing up on the rail tracks at home ,this was a great morning to spend wandering around old train and rail history, Great place, set up very well, hands on with a lot of stuff, Seeing how a steam train worked was fantastic, The first generation bullet train also, Well worth a visit, Great musuem .

As stated this venue is a Train Museum and very interesting even if you are not a train fanatic. I enjoyed seeing that several of the exhibits were made in the UK, namely Newcastle, Birmingham and Liverpool, remnants from the UK industrial revolution. The entrance is free and woven between the isles of the trains on exhibition are market stalls, selling anything from artisan food to railway memorabilia. Worth a visit, interesting history.

If you are in any way interested to see how fast technology moves forward, do visit this gem. An old railway station transformed into a museum with numerous exhibits. From working machines to modern transportation. It has everything. And to tickle your imagination further, a room with scaled models.

A must museum for train lovers. Good most of the descriptions were also available in English. Learnt a lot about trains history in Spain. Bit too commercial with all the selling trains stands though. Made it difficult visiting with our 2 years old.

An enjoyable couple of hours and some interesting and unique exhibits. Much of the labelling has English too, which was thoughtful (and informative). I particularly enjoyed the cutaway steam engine and the light alloy Talgo 2 train, but theres something for anyone with even a passing interest in railways. I hadn't realised how early Spain had started using electric trains (the UK was very much a latecomer in comparison), nor that the railway gauge is different to much of the rest of Europe. A cafe would have been nice to take a break partway, but that's the only slight negative to a worthwhile visit.

Si te gustan los trenes,es tu sitio,ideal para ir con niños,exposiciones temporales de modelismo ferroviario

El museo en si muy bonito y la visita a la maqueta "TERRITORIO FERROVIARO" es imprescindible.

Excelente espacio y la programación que hace el mercado de motores está genial.

I went on market day, free entrance and a great market. Strongly recommend

Bonito sitio para visitar con niños. Recomendable asistir a la actuación de teatro infantil del Orient Express, que dura unos cuarenta minutos. En total estuvimos cerca de dos horas. Las maquetas de trenes son muy bonitas. Entre otras, tienen la más grande de Europa.

Hidden gem, highly recommended for boys age 3-99.

I love trains! Anyone who loves trains or has children should visit. Beautiful collection of vintage trains in a vintage station. Models, displays, interactive. Be sure to visit the scale model room.

(Translated by Google) All very organized and clean. (Original) Todo muy organizado y limpio.

There is a open market at the second weekend of the every month, lovely atmosphere and good products with delicious foods 👍🏼

(Translated by Google) A very quiet and curious museum to see. You can visit restaurant cars, locomotives and bed cars. (Original) Un museo muy tranquilo y curioso de ver. Se pueden visitar vagones restaurante, locomotoras y vagones cama.

Wonderful museum of old trains. Well maintained. Great side exhibits. Friendly staff. Couldn't go inside any of the trains.

A wonderful experience. A must see. I never thought trains would be so fascinating.

Awesome, very attractive, twice a month they organize something called "mercado de motores" It is like a flea market and also there are a lot of food trucks where u can enjoy burgers, empanadas, tapas, junk food mainly and some beers. It's a great plan for a weekend.

I am a model train collector so this was a must for me to visit. It did not disappoint. I don't know if this is common, but the day we went there were tables set up and people were selling model trains. I model in 'O' scale and they were only selling 'HO' & 'N' & 'Z" scale. As for the displays? They are great. There is a good mix of locomotives and coaches. There was also some very interesting displays about maintenance and scheduling as well as the history of the station turned museum. A must see for the kid in all of us. There are few things more amazing then standing next to a 100 ton, 20 foot tall locomotive. Enjoy the view.

Food trucks were nice. A bit pricey. A lotnov variety on the stands for you to buy things from jewelry to clothing, to bread & cheese. Its always nice to walk in between thebold trains.

Amazing collection of vintage railway coaches. Model train exhibition with functional track lines. Must visit for kids!

Find a slice of the spectacular history of rail in Spain. Carriages are perfectly dressed as they would have been so long ago. A kinder and more dignified time

Nice place for a simple visit

You’ll be surrounded by historic and fantastic machines, which marked a new era in the spanish transportation, since their beginnings until late XX century… and then you have a chill area with food trucks and cold beers 😎 Fun for everybody 👍

Great musuem! Exhibits were interesting and reflective of the age. I particularly enjoyed the small touches, like the luggage and luggage carts on the "platforms". My highlight though, were the models trains, made so much more enjoyable by the friendliness and knowledge of the operator, Alvaro, who made a very kind effort to accomodate me in English. Thank you for the enjoyable visit!

Nice museum with a lot of trains from different epochs. There is not enough information available in English, and probably they could add a bit more interactivity.

Many exhibits had English translations, loved reading about the history. Well-told stories, and the running model train exhibit was GREAT!

Great experience if you are a rail fan! While it's all in Spanish, the equipment in the museum is fairly unique to Spanish railroads, though there are a few pieces that are not. Make sure to see the miniature train collection, very special pieces here. And it's always kid friendly and a great place to keep the kids entertained for a couple of hours.

lovely museum to spend about an hour

(Translated by Google) Superb museum established in an old station, Orsay type, for those who know. Beautiful locos and beautifully presented equipment. Models that could be more animated. A visit for lovers of rails and distant journeys, in space and time. To see., in family! (Original) Superbe musée établi dans une ancienne gare, type Orsay, pour ceux qui connaissent. De belles locos et du matériel joliment présenté. Des maquettes qui pourraient être plus animées. Une visite pour les amateurs de rails et de voyages lointains, dans l'espace et le temps. A voir., en famille !

Un buen lugar para visitar, siempre tienen alguna actividad, sobre todo los fines de semana. Mercado de motores, Mercadillo y como no la exposición. Al estar cubierto se puede visitar cuando quieras, además en el vagón restaurante, muy bien restaurado, puedes tomar y picar algo disfrutando de un estilo clásico. Exposiciones de maquetas y material vario, merece la pena. Es fácil de llegar y aparcar, aunque recomiendo llegar en tren

Great for little kids. They have a musical show that is adorable and teaches about Spanish cities the railway stops at. There is an area for little kids to color. We were there 2 hours and saw about everything.

Very nice museum with of the largest collections of old rolling stock in Europe!

(Translated by Google) Superb museum. Very reasonable entry. Magnificent trains that remind us of our youth. Very nice heritage. to visit without a doubt (Original) Superbe musée. Entrée très raisonnable. Trains magnifiques qui nous rappellent notre jeunesse . Très beau patrimoine . a visiter sans nul doute

(Translated by Google) I went on the second weekend of the month, when they do the motor market, with stands and outdoor food. A wonder to see old trains almost from inside (Original) Fui en el segundo finde del mes, cuando realizan el mercado de motores, con puestecitos y comida al aire libre. Una maravilla para poder ver trenes antiguos casi desde dentro
