One of the most convenient transportation options for cruise passengers visiting Aruba is the free downtown streetcar, or trolley. This modern tram service provides easy access to the heart of Oranjestad, connecting the cruise port to the city’s main attractions in a continuous loop. Passengers can hop on just outside the cruise terminal’s main gate and enjoy a scenic ride through the downtown area.
The double-decker trolley offers 360-degree views of the city as it passes by key landmarks like the House of Parliament, Archaeological Museum, Fort Zoutman (Historical Museum), the Protestant Church, and various shops along Main Street, which has been transformed into a beautiful pedestrian-friendly zone.
Running from 10 AM to 5 PM, the trolley operates every day except Sundays, though schedules may vary by season. Visitors are encouraged to check the information desk at the cruise terminal for the most up-to-date details.
With six convenient stops near historic sites, museums, and popular shopping areas, getting around Oranjestad has never been easier or more enjoyable. This trolley makes exploring the city both fun and hassle-free, allowing visitors to experience Aruba’s charm at their own pace.
