The local metro has five lines, one of which goes all the way out to The Hague. Trams and buses cover all the neighbourhoods and connect Rotterdam Centrum with surrounding towns. 

The water bus is an enjoyable way to travel around Rotterdam and make the most of its riverside location. If traveling in a big group, look into hiring a water taxi, available at various spots throughout the city. A water taxi can accommodate 8 people with prices depending on the distance and number of passengers. 

As is the case everywhere in the Netherlands, renting and exploring Rotterdam on a bike promises to be a pleasant experience. The city has free bicycle parking around the center and its suburbs. However, if you wish to visit nearby beaches and towns such as Gouda, Delft, and Dordrecht, it is best to rent a car during your stay.
