TRAM is taking part in the 48H Open House BCN festival for the fourth year in a row by opening the Trambaix depot next weekend, on 23 and 24 October. The visit will consist in a guided tour of the TRAM facilities in Sant Joan Despí, on Avinguda de Barcelona, s/n (corner of Rambla de Josep M. Jujol).

During the activity, organised specially for the 48H Open House BCN festival, participants will get to visit the depot, which has a maintenance, repair and cleaning area for the trams; the Control Centre, which monitors operations to ensure safe, quality service; and a tram, accompanied by four volunteers per group from the festival organisers. 

The best way to get there is tram line T2 to the Bon Viatge stop. Tours of the TRAM facility will be offered from 5 pm to 8pm on Saturday 23 October, and from 11:30 am to 2pm and 5pm to 8pm on Sunday 24 October. Other emblematic buildings in Sant Joan Despí that are open for the 48H Open House BCN festival include Torre de la Creu, Restaurant Follia, Can Negre, Can Codina and Can Tous, among other facilities and themed walks.

Since last year, TRAM also offers a 4-minute guided audio tour for visitors who want to learn more about the Trambaix depot from any location. It is available on the website https://www.48hopenhousebarcelona.org/els-edificis/tram-cotxeres/

48h Open House BCN is an architecture festival that, for one weekend, opens the doors to over 220 emblematic buildings in Barcelona and the surrounding cities. The project, promoted by the eponymous association, is based around the pillars of volunteering, sponsorship and participation. The goal is to make architecture visible as one of the city’s most important cultural manifestations.
