We are just a 3 minute walk from Rotterdam Central Station. Leave the Station by the center exit. On your right-hand side you will see a big old office building ('Groothandelsgebouw'). Follow the fences, turn right at restaurant Engels on the corner of the building and the avenue called Weena. Just keep walking alongside the office building in a westerly direction. Keep going. Next you will pass a blue/green school building (Albeda College). Turn right at the corner. This is the Schaatsbaan. Now just keep walking straight on towards the railroad tracks. Now look on your left-hand side to see a yellow and black checkerboard building. That is the place to be. Welcome to Use-it!
