Rent a bike with an app

If you are visiting Rotterdam and would like to explore the city by bike, an app for (electric) share bikes such as Felix or Lime can also be a handy solution for renting a bike. The apps are easy to use and offer a large selection of (electric) bikes that you can unlock with the app. Renting a bike through an app is safe and reliable and offers you the flexibility to explore the city at your own pace. 

Rent an OV bike

Renting an OV-fiets at one of the 8 Rotterdam OV-fiets locations (NS stations and metro stations) can also be a useful option for exploring the city. Using the well-known blue-yellow public transport bicycle is easy and fast. With an OV-fiets you can enjoy the sights of Rotterdam at your own pace.

Public transport

Besides renting a bike, you can also travel sustainably by public transport. The Rotterdam City Card gives you unlimited travel with RET for 1, 2 or 3 days.

Cycling in and around Rotterdam

Rotterdam and the surrounding areas offer plenty of opportunities for bike lovers. It is good to know that Rotterdam is part of the cycle junction network and that more than 600 kilometres of bike paths are available.
