Description
Vienna's tram system is one of the features of the city, as well as being one of the most useful for both visitors and locals. The Viennese affectionately call their trams "Bims" - from the word "bimmeln" (which comes from the ringing of the bell when the tram moves off).
The original tram network in Vienna was created in the 19th century and the tram carriages were pulled by horses. These were followed by steam trams, until finally the first electric tram appeared at the end of the century.
Probably the most popular tram amongst tourists is the Ring Tram - a hop-on hop-off tram which does a circuit around the inner city on the Ringstrasse (the wide boulevard which follows the route of the old demolished city walls).
