Other connections

When you take your car you could also decide to take a ferry to IJmuiden, Duinkerken (Belgium) or Calais (France) and drive from there to Rotterdam.

Take your car with you

The ferries are very comfortable and have all kinds of facilities on board to enjoy your journey. Most of them have restaurants, bars, shops, casinos and cinemas on board. Of course the ferries take longer than the plane, but the advantage is that you can take your car with you if you would like to see other parts of the Netherlands or Europe. If you just want to visit Rotterdam you won't need your car because public transport is very good.
