Why choose a sustainable group trip?

Green transportation options

Sustainable travel starts with your choice of transportation. Rotterdam is easily accessible by train and has an excellent public transport network within the city. From Rotterdam Central Station, you can reach the lively city center in no time. Want to go the extra mile in eco-friendliness? Opt for a shared bike or e-scooter to get around the city. Additionally, Rotterdam’s water taxis partly run on electricity, providing a unique and scenic way to explore the city, especially on sunny days!

Staying with a sustainable vision

Planning an overnight stay? Rotterdam boasts several hotels with sustainability certifications, such as Room Mate Bruno Hotel and nhow Rotterdam, both situated in one of the city’s most stunning areas: Kop van Zuid. These hotels actively focus on energy conservation, prioritize sustainable materials, and use locally sourced products. For a more original option, consider the Wikkelboat, a floating eco-lodge in Rijnhaven where you can literally meet and sleep on the water.
