Here you will be able to take a minute to enjoy the sunshine, some fair trade coffee, and talk to Oxfam Novib volunteers.

Ahoy Rotterdam is well situated to different exit roads but can also easily be reached with public transport. During the North Sea Jazz weekend extra rush is expected on the roads to Ahoy and surrounding parking facilities. Due to a simultaneous event in the Feyenoord Stadium, there are less parking spots available than in previous years. Because of all this, we advise you to use public transport. If you are still coming by car, please follow the 'P-Ahoy' signs. Ignore the advice from your navigation equipment equipment to prevent that you end up in the traffic jam towards the other event.
