After the Second World War, the Dutch built their second national airport in Rotterdam. Officially opened in October 1956, the airport faced uncertainty over its future until the 1990’s when economic growth and an increase in passengers and traffic made it more economically viable to operate.

It is served by the RET Airport Shuttle nr. 33 every 10 minutes that plies runs Rotterdam Central Station and Rotterdam Airport route. Straight from the Rotterdam Airport, you can take the RET to Rotterdam Central Station where you can directly travel by train (or a maximum of one transfer at another station) to a very large number of stations anywhere in the Netherlands. From the same spot, you can either decide to take trams, buses or the underground transit system to travel within the region.

There is also the RET night bus B12 which allows travelers who are departing from Rotterdam Airport on the first flight of the morning to go to the airport by public transport.
