Many cities in Australia and overseas have heritage tourist tramways and the number is growing. In some cities the heritage operation is a supplement to a modern tram or light rail system. In other cases all services are provided by heritage vehicles, as planned for the Federation Line.

Cities with heritage tram services include Barcelona, Bendigo, Brussels, Christchurch, Dallas, Melbourne, Memphis, Milan, New Orleans, Portland, Prague, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Vienna and Istanbul. The most recent cities to introduce heritage trams are Santos, Brazil, where a 'toast-rack' tram built in 1912 runs on a 1.7 km loop in the city centre; and Tampa, Florida, where the service ties together tourist attractions in the heart of Tampa City.
