it’s 50 years since the last trams ran through the city
/Today is an interesting anniversary because it's now fifty years since the tram service in Copenhagen was shut down with the last trams running through the city on 22 April 1972.
The first trams in the city were horse drawn but electric trams were brought in from the 1890s and the first tram routes were established by private companies but in 1911 the city took over the operation of the tram system.
New trams, tram terminals and street furniture for the tram service were then designed by the city architects department.
At one stage the length of the tram routes through and around the city was just under 100 kilometres in total.
