Winter tram ride in historic tram
That's romantic: riding in a historic tram through wintry The Hague with all the Christmas lights, winter events and pretty decorations. Three weekends in December and two in January, an old tram will drive through the city to Scheveningen and back. A guide will tell you all about the city, the beach and the various winter events.
