Ok thats beautiful, how does it get power? Does it have a battery or somehow from the rails?

Batteries. There is a 4 km part of the line that doesn't have any overhead line, so the tram is charged just before going to that part. On the rest of the line it's the usual overhead line you see with trams.

It's in Luxembourg.

oh i just assumed luxembourg was too small for a tram, but no it's even being extended to the airport!

Live rails in the open like that might be a bit hazardous.
