A Guide to Rotterdam Ahoy

Whether you’re driving, using public transport, or joining the locals and cycling to Rotterdam Ahoy, the arena couldn’t be easier to get to. Travelling by metro or bus? The Zuidplein stop is just five minutes walk from the Ahoy. 

The arena boasts 2,000 parking spaces, so you won’t need to worry about finding somewhere to leave your car. There’s also plenty of bike parking available just outside the Ahoy, so you can choose the healthiest option and still enjoy complete convenience.

There’s plenty to eat and drink at the Ahoy Arena, with something available to suit every taste. Choose from two restaurants and enjoy a delicious meal before your event kicks off. Restaurant Floyd is a beautiful spot that’s perfect if you’re trying to make an impression, while laid-back Restaurant RiVers is super-convenient for sandwiches and hot meals, coffee, and juices.

Inside the arena itself, several bars serve drinks, snacks, and sweets, so you won’t need to go hungry for a minute!

With an ever-evolving calendar of events and performances, Rotterdam Ahoy has something to offer everyone. From concerts and dance events to shows, exhibitions, and festivals, there’s plenty of excitement for you to dive into. In May 2020, the Eurovision Song Contest will be taking place at the Rotterdam Ahoy!

Sports fan? The arena can also transform into several professional-standard pitches, so you can go and watch an indoor game or tournament.

When you’re planning a trip to Rotterdam, you’ll want to find the perfect hotel for you and your party to stay close to all the action.
