Would appreciate help to get from the cruise port to the Gardens. Does the train and buses work on one pass.
Hi, you can take the train (Intercity) from Rotterdam to Leiden Centraal. From there there there is a bus that brings you to the Keukenhof. It's number 854, departing from the side of the town centre. It's about 25 minutes by bus. Tickets can be bought online: ticketing2.wheretocard.nl/ke...">ticketing2.wheretocard.nl/ke...

Thank you for you quick response, do you know how far the train station is from the port? The ship want $79.00 US to take a bus and tickets into the gardens but I am sure we can do it on our own for cheaper then that. Have you ever heard of a combo tkt that you can buy as part of the train, and tkts to the gardens?

Info for the combi ticket at: keukenhof.nl/en/601/combitic...
You still need to travel from the cruiseport to the Rotterdam Centraal Station (by tram).
From the Rotterdam Centraal Station you travel by train to Leiden Centraal.
At Leiden you take the Keukenhof Express from Leiden CS (bus 854).

Total costs 36,10 euro which is about $47 which is much cheaper than the cruise company offers :)

You can indeed walk from the cruiseport to Central Station in more or less a straight line. It'll take about 40 minutes.
Use googlemaps to see the route and then use these addresses:
- departure 'Wilhelminakade, Rotterdam'
- destination 'Centraal Station, Centrum, Rotterdam'
Don't forget to click the button 'pedestrian'!
I do recommend buying tickets for Keukenhof online since it saves you queuing when you get there.

You can download a nice Rotterdam map here: en.rotterdam.info/EN/assets/...
Anything else you need to know about Rotterdam, fire away :-)

you canNOT go via Woerden on a normal trainticket-plus thats a long way around anyway.
We always use EUR in EUR-so thats about 55/60 eur for the all-in excursion. Total cost (with walk) and simply buy an combo Bus+entry ticket in Leiden- as anyone does (advance brings you nothing) will be around 30/35 eur pp. On sunny sundays in season its more a matter of just follow the crowd-enormous in the end of morning.
