That title goes to Kiruna in Sweden which once has a quite extensive tram network back in the day.

We had heard that there was a restaurant at the end of the line. We got that wrong because there was nothing there but a small rail circle and sheep grazing in the middle. So we went back with the same tram. The woman driving the tram was a lovely person who had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the tram’s history. So both on the outward and inward bound trips she told us the history of the tramways and pointed out the passing scenery. The tram company could have charged for her guiding services!

We backpacked and stayed at AirBnB homes, except for Stavanger and Bergen where it was cheaper to stay in a hotel. (If you only stay one or two nights in an AirBnB the cleaning fees are so expensive that a hotel can be a better option.)
