Rotterdam Travel help needed
Posted: Tue March 31, 2009 09:55 AM UTC
Hey,
I'm traveling to Rotterdam in June and I can't find much info about europort. What is the easiest way to get to europort from Rotterdam without a car/taxi?

Also is it only the 'A' roads you can't cycle on?

Thanks for any replies.

Hello, Europoort is not an official town or region. It's an industrial zone.
You need an exact address.

Of course you can cycle there, but it being an industrial zone you can understand that cycling lanes are not a first priority in the area. Public transportation is also not a priority. People working in Europoort generally use their own motorised transportation.

If you give me some idea of your plans there, I could help you further. I live very near the area (5 kms).

Oh right, sorry my mistake.

I'm getting the ferry from Hull, Uk to Rotterdam and it arrives in europoort.
On the outward we are cycling to Amsterdam.

On the return we will need to get from Rotterdam central to Europoort hopefully without having to cycle but we will have bikes with us so I'm looking for a coach or train route that goes as close as possible to the port where you can sail to Hull.

Thanks

P&O Ferries runs a special bus transfer. Check with the ferry company for details.

Thanks, I've found the coach info at P&O ferries.

Final question. Am I right in thinking you cannot cycle on 'A' roads?
I'm planning the journey from Rotterdam to Amsterdam and I'm not really sure which roads I should be avoiding.

Yes, correct. A-roads are motorways.

I recommend the LF 1 bicycle route, also known as the Northse route.
