Encyclopedia
Wilhelminaplein is the only underground subway station of the part of Rotterdam

Wilhelminaplein station was opened in 1997 as a new station of the North-South Line, which itself was already opened in 1968.

Near the main entrance of the station, a Rotterdam tram
stop is located. Here, travelers can get on RET
