Beautiful architecture, easy to walk through, all lanes are located across the same main hallway. Walking through the mainhall will bring you in the centre of Rotterdam directly.

Rotterdam's train station is an architecture orgasm, totally worth to spend some minutes admiring the building and especially the roof!

The centerpiece of Netherlands' Rotterdam Centraal Station's design is the main entrance. The shiny boomerang-like canopy is made of a stainless steel projection and wood cladding. Read more

Dutch public transportation is arguably the best in the world. Rotterdam Centraal is a major hub and transit point 🚊👍🏾

Nice new modern station, make sure you have an OV Chipcard to get through the gates or ask an employee to check your ticket and let you through.

Amazing building, one of Rotterdam's major architectural sights. What a shame that NS decided to close the station for visitors. You need a ticket or a "OV-chipkaart" loaded with at least 20 EUR.

Probably the prettiest train station I've seen! Go wander around and shoot some photos on the deck all the way in the back of the platforms. It gives a great overview!

Go to Dudok pastry and get a chocolate truffle cake or a tiramisu (also to go). Just delicious!

This modern and spacious station is an architectural marvel. The iconic main entrance really is really photogenic and refects to the surrounding highrise.

Lots of the retail units are for rail passengers only, behind the ticket gate line, inc. Albert Heijn, YO Sushi, Leon & Starbucks. WC are available to general public above ticket office/service centre

Plenty of places to get coffee or a quick lunch. Feel free to stand still in the main hall, there's plenty of space for that.

For occasional visitors it can be confusing. The schedule screens are all in Dutch and don't use the train numbers, only the destination. Ask police looking staff in yellow jackets for directions.

Very futuristic and brand new! Must see in Rotterdam.
