What is the AmsterTram?

Starting in March 2025, the AmsterTram will operate as a tram-restaurant in Amsterdam. This unique concept is one of only four similar restaurant trams in the world! Originally built in 1990, this historic tram ran daily through Amsterdam until 2021 and has recently been converted into a restaurant on wheels, complete with a kitchen, restroom, and seating for 44 guests.

We will offer dinner rides of 2.5 hours from Wednesday to Sunday. Additionally, the tram can be hired for private events (e.g., lunch, drinks, or high tea) and will occasionally host extra rides.

The AmsterTram offers a unique and culinary experience of Amsterdam, perfect to share with family, friends, or colleagues. We are proud and passionate about connecting our guests to the city and each other. With a personal and dedicated approach to our guests and colleagues, we aim to deliver an unforgettable experience.

Your tram team will include:

  • A tram driver (via the Electric Museum Tram Line Amsterdam)
  • A chef (via our catering partner Sonah Catering)
  • A service staff member

Together, the four of you will form the AmsterTram team.
