Hop in the flight simulator to test your skill as a pilot, or let one of the experts take you under their wing through the museum. Our pilot, Piloti, is happy to escort you through three secret parts of the Transport Museum via a touchscreen – all you have to do is crack the puzzles. Then, you can test yourself on our one-of-a-kind travel machine to see if you’re a real travel expert.
