Swiss Museum of Transport
The Swiss Museum of Transport is the largest museum of its kind in Switzerland, covering the full range of transportation history — trains, cars, aviation, shipping and space travel — across a large campus that also includes a planetarium and, in a nod to Swiss tourism history, an exhibit on the country's mountain railways and cable cars. Given Switzerland's engineering-heavy railway and cable-car culture, the train and cable-car sections have a particular depth that connects directly to the mountain excursions visitors are likely doing elsewhere in the region.
It's large enough to easily fill half a day and is a strong option for families or anyone with an interest in engineering and transport history, with hands-on and interactive elements throughout rather than purely static displays.
