Two Circuits, One City: Tram Tours That Let Antwerp Unfold at Your Pace.
hopNstop on Touristram pairs two complementary 35-minute tram routes under a single ticket, offering a guided, hop-on/hop-off way to see Antwerp’s historic Grote Markt, the Centraal Station quarter and the city’s harbor-side neighborhoods—an easy, family-friendly option for a compact city overview.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Two routes, one flexible ticket
A single hopNstop ticket covers both Route 1 (city-centre highlights from Grote Markt to Astridplein) and Route 2 (from Astridplein back to Grote Markt), letting you ride both 35-minute circuits on the same day and hop off and on at the two main stops.
Comfort and ease for relaxed sight-seeing
The Touristram provides comfortable seating and a structured timetable so you can see Antwerp without navigating transit connections—sit through a full loop or use the stops to build your own walking route.
Multilingual audio that orients your tour
A multilingual audio guide delivers context and stories about Antwerp’s landmarks along the way, so travelers of different backgrounds can follow the city’s history and contemporary life as they ride.
What the day feels like
What the tram experience feels like
The tours unfold as two linked 35-minute circuits: one threads the compact, historic core from the Grote Markt toward Centraal Station; the other returns through neighborhoods and the port area to the Grote Markt. The ride is paced, narrated and designed for easy hopping on and off at the main termini, giving you freedom to stitch walking and tram segments into a single-day exploration.

Details to review before reserving
Each circuit lasts about 35 minutes; the full experience is two 35-minute routes (2 x 35 minutes) when you use both on the same day.
Departures run from the Grote Markt for Route 1 and from Astridplein/Centraal Station for Route 2; check departure times and arrive early to secure a seat.
A dayticket lets you use both routes the same day and hop off and re-board at the two main stops; single-ride tickets cover one route only and expire once you disembark.
The tram has a low-step boarding; drivers can assist passengers, but a wheelchair cannot be transported on board—guests should plan accordingly.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
Frequently asked questions
Planning Your Outing
How does a dayticket work?
With a hopNstop dayticket you may use both Touristram routes on the same day and you may get off and re-board at the two main stops provided there is space.
Can I take a single route instead of both?
Yes. A hopNstop single-ride ticket covers one of the two routes; once you disembark the ticket is no longer valid.
Do I need to reserve in advance?
Reservation is recommended—especially in high season—to guarantee a place; without a reservation you can attempt to board but full departures cannot be guaranteed.
Where can I board or leave the tram?
You may board and disembark at the Grote Markt (Route 1 start) or at Astridplein/Centraal Station (Route 2 start); note that re-boarding is subject to available space.
What should I do if the weather is bad or there is an event?
Tours can be canceled in extreme weather or during major city events and the operator will inform customers; changes to pickup locations are also possible during large events.
Can children and passengers with limited mobility use the Touristram?
Yes—tours are suitable for all ages and the tram has a low step; drivers can assist with boarding, but wheelchairs cannot be brought on board and must be left in a safe place off the tram.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
According to the operator’s conditions, tickets cannot be canceled or changed.
