Over de Bogen

Walk 2 km on the old Hofplein line

Strijbos & Van Rijswijk, Rotterdamse Dakendagen, O.

Please note: the minimum age to visit Over de Bogen is 12 years. Pushchairs and baby carriers are therefore not allowed here. The route across the roof takes +/- 60 min (end point: Voorburgstraat 2}. The route back on the public road takes +/- 30 min, in total you will be on the road for +/- 90 min. Check out the full FAQ here.

O. and Rotterdamse Dakendagen organise Over de Bogen (Over the Arches) in which you walk 2 kilometres across the roof of Rotterdam’s monumental Hofbogen, right through four city districts! Over de Bogen is the first and last chance to take this walk before this roof changes forever.

From 17 to 26, you can walk across the roof from the Luchtpark to the highway every day. During the walk, you will encounter installations by artist duo Strijbos & Van Rijswijk at various points along the route. These audio artworks bring the city to life musically by interweaving live city sounds with music.

Click on ‘tickets’ to book tickets for a 15-minute time slot in which you can enter the Over de Bogen walk.

Good news! Thanks to support from Rotterdam Onbeperkt, we were able to realise a lift to make the roof of the Hofbogen accessible to everyone. From 17 – 26 May, you can go up and down the roof daily between 15:45 and 18:30 without using the stairs. Wheelchair users and visitors who want to walk the 2 km across the roof with an aid (such as walker or cane) are welcome.

Lift seats are also available for the live experience of Over De Bogen. This concerns the performance on 23 May at 19:00. The sale is not through regular ticket sales but through info@o-festival.nl. Tickets are available to those who apply and until stocks last

Note: This event cannot be visited with an O. day ticket or pass. However, you can visit the live experience with an O. day ticket or passe-partout. A Rotterdamse Dakendagen ticket does not give access to Over de Bogen.
