Ride Tram 1 to Connect City and Sea

The Hague is one of the rare European administrative capitals set directly against the sea, and the public transit network makes switching between stately brick boulevards and the salty North Sea coastline effortless. Board HTM Tram Line 1, which doubles as an informal scenic tour connecting central transit hubs with the historic Peace Palace, leafy embassy districts, and the coast at Scheveningen.

Instead of purchasing disposable paper tickets, take advantage of the national OVpay system. Simply tap your contactless debit card, credit card, or smartphone on the tram card reader when boarding and tap out with the exact same payment method as you exit. This route offers the most scenic and cost-effective corridor for traversing the entire city.
