Traveler advice
Getting around
Most convenient ways to get around
If you are adventurous or a good driver, you can use an app to rent an electric scooter (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.felyx.android ) - they are all around the city (also in Amsterdam), however it takes a bit of getting used (to the scooter and the traffic with all the cyclists).
Alternatively getting around by bike is a less adventurous and very convenient option: https://en.rotterdam.info/cycling-in-and-around-rotterdam/rent-a-bike-in-rotterdam/
You can also get around by tram - but you will need a card for that: https://en.rotterdam.info/visitors-info/in-rotterdam/
