Would you like to arrive at the ball in style? In 2024 this is possible. In addition to your ball ticket, you can book transport in this beautiful carriage from the wonderfully located tHuis aan de Amstel to De Duif on the Prinsengracht.
Starting point: tHuis aan de Amstel
You are welcome from 17.00 hrs. at culinary and artistic café tHuis aan de Amstel: the former “Director’s Mansion” of the Zuidergasfabriek, picturesquely situated on the Amstel river. We welcome you in the cozy Balcony Room on the first floor, where you have a beautiful view over the water. A glass of Cava and delicious snacks will be waiting for you. With a Viennese waltz in the background, you’ll get in the mood.
The carriage
After drinks with delicious snacks, a historic carriage will arrive in front, pulled by two horses. The coachman will help you and the other passengers board and then you will leave at 18.15 hrs for a splendid tour through beautiful Amsterdam. After about three quarters of an hour, the carriage arrives at De Duif. Perfectly in time for the start of the ball.
