On 13 September 2025, Vienna’s Rathausplatz transforms into the world stage for the best tram drivers on the planet! 
25 teams from cities like San Diego, Rio de Janeiro, Melbourne, Hong Kong and other cities will showcase their skills in thrilling competitions. 

The disciplines at the TRAM World Championships are as diverse as the cities from which the participants come. Whether it's braking with millimeter precision at high speed, transporting water containers without spilling or bowling all the pins in the spectacular “streetcar bowling”: If you want to score points, you not only need technical skill, but also nerves of steel and perfect teamwork with the other team member.

Join the fun at the big Öffi-Fest! Enjoy exciting exhibitions, interactive hands-on stations, and a colourful programme for the whole family. 
Admission is free – everyone’s welcome!
