The Coastal Tram: A unique experience by the North Sea
The Belgian Coastal Tram is a true institution for both locals and tourists. With its 67 kilometers of track, it holds the record for the longest tram line in the world, connecting De Panne to Knokke-Heist along the entire Belgian coast.
This original mode of transport allows you to discover different seaside resorts without having to use your car. Passengers can admire the dune landscapes and beaches while passing through iconic coastal towns. It is an ideal solution for embracing the "slow travel" concept, taking the time to travel at your own pace.
One of the most popular stops is the city of Ostend. This resort is particularly appreciated for its cultural riches, notably the museum dedicated to the artist James Ensor. Travelers can easily hop off the tram to visit these historical sites before resuming their journey to another coastal destination.
The line operates all year round and offers frequent service, especially during the summer season. Thanks to this efficient network, the Coastal Tram remains a pillar of tourism in Belgium, facilitating travel between the various municipalities while offering a stunning view of the North Sea.
