About Rotterdam

Rotterdam, located in the western Netherlands, is famous for its modern architecture, striking skyline, and vibrant port - the largest in Europe. The city offers a unique blend of historic buildings and futuristic skyscrapers.

By train

Rotterdam is easily accessible by train: it’s less than 1 hour from Amsterdam and 40 minutes from Utrecht, with Rotterdam Centraal as its main station. 

By car

You can reach Rotterdam via the A13 and A20 highways, but parking in the city center can be expensive. Consider using the park-and-ride (P+R) lots on the outskirts for cheaper parking.
