Zuidplein is an above-ground subway station in the south of the city of Rotterdam. It is part of Rotterdam Metro lines D and E.
The station opened on February 9, 1968, on the same date that the North-South Line (also formerly called Erasmus line), of which it is a part, was opened. It served as the southern terminus of the line until November 25, 1970, when a one-station extension to Slinge was opened.
Zuidplein station is located right next to a large shopping center which goes by the same name. Also Ahoy Rotterdam, a large indoor arena, is within walking distance of the station. Finally, one can use the bus station located directly underneath the station to get on several local and interlocal buses.
