RDM Campus is easily accessible by car and public transportation.

  • Car: on ring road Rotterdam Zuid (South, A15) take exit 18: Heijplaat. At the top of the exit, follow the signs for Heijplaat / Havens (port numbers) 2250-2750. Keep following the signs for Heijplaat (and port number 2600), but don't turn left at 'exit' Heijplaat (this is the village). Follow the road to the right instead and after the next sharp turn to the right, the entrance to the RDM-terrain is left after about 200 meters (Haven / port number 2600). Driving parallel to the water front, the long building on the left is Droogdok. The large building at the far corner of the dock is Innovation Dock.
  • Bus: from underground station Zuidplein RET-buses 68 and 61 go to Heijplaat/RDM. See the website of RET for an itinerary.
