Rotterdam Metro Map

Here is our useful Rotterdam Metro map to help navigate your way around the city.

The Rotterdam Metro is run by Rotterdam municipal city transport company RET (Rotterdamse Elektrische Tram) and RandstadRail. The metro offers an extensive network for travel around the greater Rotterdam area.

The Rotterdam Metro first opened in 1968 and now has 5 lines (A-E) with 70 stations. There are 167 metro vehicles in use including articulated express trams and light rail trains. Line E run by RandstadRail connects Rotterdam and The Hague.

We have developed our own version of the Rotterdam Metro map here which has some places of interest marked including Rotterdam Central Station, Rotterdam-The Hague airport (RTM), Ahoy Rotterdam arena, Feyenoord Stadium and Hoek van Holland ferry port. Our map also feature NS (Dutch Railways) train lines.

The Line B extension to Hoek van Holland Haven opened in 2019 and replaced the rail line which was previously serviced by NS Sprinter trains.

A new metro station at Hoek van Holland Strand (beach) opened in 2023. A Stena Line ferry service runs between Hoek van Holland and Harwich in UK.
