Cyprus Railways Museum, Nicosia District, Cyprus

Bygone Era
The Cyprus Railway Museum is a reminder that Cyprus did indeed have a Railway back in the day and Millions of trips were made so it was a success until the transportation of goods were transferred to Road. Great piece of renovation and well worth a visit. Free entry currently which makes it a win win visit. Plenty of interesting facts on show and the original rails in place. Lovely well kept gardens with lovely roses compliment the Museum. Very positive Covid measures in place as well.

Out of the way
You need a car to visit this one. Located on the far side of the Troodos mountains the station has been painstakingly restored and a section of track laid. Only 2 items of rolling stock but inside is a comprehensive display of the history of the Cyprus Government Railway in English and Greek. The staff cannot speak English but try to be helpful. Free admission and clean toilets. Too small to be the focal point of a trip but worth a look if nearby.

Little Gem in the Troodos
What a pleasant surprise. We were looking for something to do on a spare afternoon and decided to visit the railway museum. There is an issue getting to it due to roadworks at present in the nearby village, but once you get there it is very informative. We did not realise the extent of the railway in its heydey, and the engineering to get the trains into troodos must have been quite something. A gem for a couple of hours and woth a visit
