Traffic

Ahoy Rotterdam is well situated to different exit roads but can also easily be reached with public transport. Due to the limited parking facilities near Ahoy and possible traffic jams on the way to and from Rotterdam, we advise you to use public transport.

Bike
If you prefer coming by bike, Ahoy has a free, supervised bikegarage available.

Taxi
You can find a taxi stand in front of Ahoy.

Subway/bus
You can reach Ahoy perfectly by subway (metro Erasmuslijn, stop at Zuidplein) and more than 30 bus lines.
