Menu
There is a 4-course dinner (consisting of fish and meat dishes). Do you prefer a vegetarian meal? Indicate this when making your reservation.
Children
Unfortunately, Hoftrammm does not cater specially for (small) children and has no seats or additional facilities for them. There is no special children's menu, so an adults menu should be ordered.
Departure location
The official place to get on and off the restaurant tram is at Voorburg Station, Stationsplein 1. At that location, it is safe to get on and off without the hindrance of traffic. At least 15 minutes before departure, a host will be present there to assist you in getting aboard the Hoftrammm.
Route
The Hoftrammm ride will start in Voorburg and follows the route of tram line 9 towards Scheveningen (Zwarte Pad). On its journey, various The Hague sights, such as Lange Voorhout and Hofvijver, go by. Hoftrammm continues via tram line 1 to the city centre to Hollands Spoor Station, the oldest station of The Hague (1843). This station, with a monumental platform building, will be passed on its way to Scheveningen (line 11). From Scheveningen, the journey back through the city centre of The Hague will take you through the stately Statenkwartier. Changes to the route may be caused as a result to traffic disruption etc.
Duration
The culinary ride will take about 2 hours and 15 minutes, depending on traffic and road conditions.
