Getting to Festival Downtown
For festival-goers arriving by public transportation, it's recommended to take trams 4 or 7 going directly from Rotterdam Central Station to Eendrachtsplein. For those driving, the City Garage Museum Park is close by. If you're cycling, there are plenty of places to park your bike, so this is the most highly recommended travel option.
