How to get to and from the NN North Sea Jazz Festival
Festival location
Follow the signs which will take you to the nearest available parking area. Since there probably will be a shortage of parking space and many traffic jams towards and from Rotterdam, we advise you to use the public transport facilities such as the train, bus and metro.
Book your parking space at Rotterdam Ahoy or Stadium Feijenoord
You can book a parking space at Stadium Feijenoord. Shuttle buses depart from Stadium Feijenoord towards Rotterdam Ahoy. There are also some parking tickets available at Rotterdam Ahoy. Tickets can be purchased at Ticketmaster.
PLEASE PLAN AHEAD! Construction is being done on Dutch railroads, mainly on weekends. Please check www.ns.nl for any changes in the regular schedule.
Ahoy Rotterdam is easily reached using the metro and with over 30 different bus lines stopping at the Ahoy. Metro Line D departs from Rotterdam Central Station and Metro Line E is a straight metro from The Haque Central Station to Ahoy (stop Zuidplein).
Especially for the NN North Sea Jazz Festival, metro trains have an extended night schedule between Slinge and Rotterdam Central Station until 2.55 a.m. on Friday and Saturday night. Three night metro trains will ride all the way to Den Haag Centraal Station. On Saturday and Sunday you can also use the regular night buses (so-called “BOB bus”) that can take you to several destinations in and around Rotterdam. Please check www.ret.nl for more information.
Visitors can also purchase a Rotterdam Welcome Card. This is a chip card that allows you to travel unlimited for 1, 2 or 3 consecutive days on all metro, tram and bus lines of the RET public transport network.
Together with this chip card, you will also receive 50 discount vouchers for attractions, museums, restaurants and places of entertainment. Please check www.rotterdam.info for more information.
