By Public Transport
The Rotterdam region boasts a very efficient public
transport network. You can get pretty much anywhere by bus,
tram or metro. Tickets for one means of transport are
generally valid on other means of transport, as well, so if
you hold a valid ticket, you can transfer seamlessly from
buses to trams and metro trains and the other way round
without having to buy a new ticket.
To get to the Ahoy arena, take a Spijkenisse- or Slinge-bound
metro train from Rotterdam Central Station and get off at
Zuidplein. From here, the Ahoy arena is a well-signposted
five-minute walk. Alternatively, you can take a bus (RET
route 44) to Zuidplein and walk from there.
One-way tickets
One-way tickets valid for use on buses and trams can be
bought from the vehicle’s driver. Depending on how far away
you are from the venue, one-way tickets cost anywhere from
€1.50 to €4 each.
One/two/three-day travelcards
A number of convenient day tickets are available to
visitors to the 2010 Artistic Gymnastics World
Championships. Depending on the length of your stay, you can
buy a one-, two- or three-day travelcard, priced at €9, €12
and €15, respectively. Such electronic one-day or multi-day
tickets are valid on RET buses, trams and metro trains, as
well as NS trains and Connexxion buses within the Rotterdam
zone.
