By Car
The Woudestein campus is situated very near the Van Brienenoordbrug ('brug' = bridge). The Van Brienenoordbrug is crossed by the A16 motorway. This is where you have to get off the A16.
If you come from the south (A16, direction Breda and Antwerp): keep following the signs Den Haag until you see the signs Capelle a/d IJssel and Rotterdam Centrum. Keep following the direction Rotterdam Centrum and you will see the direction to the university.
If you come from the north (A13): keep following the direction Dordrecht/A16 until you see the sign Capelle a/d IJssel and Rotterdam Centrum. Keep following the direction Rotterdam Centrum and automatically you will see the direction of the university.
If you come from the east (A12/A20): same route as coming from the north (Dordrecht/A16 and Rotterdam Centrum).
PARKING
Due to renovations, there are only a limited number of parking spaces available.
