Museo de la Electricidad

Fodor's Review:

On the street in front of this tiny museum is a cherry red urbanito, or streetcar, named Breda. For about 65 cents you can climb aboard and take a three-block trip down Avenida Pedro de Osma. Notice the wooden seats, impeccably refinished when the tram was put back into service in 1997. Inside the museum itself are photos of other trolleys that once rumbled along the streets of Lima. The captions are only in Spanish.
