Take a citytrip to Rotterdam

Discover the city

Eating on the Cape, having a drink at Aloha or cycling across the Erasmus Bridge, I love it. Rotterdam is great for a city trip

Rotterdam is the city for those who want to be surprised (nearby). Its contemporary architecture, museums and many galleries make it an inspiring place. It is a wonderful city for shopping. In the small streets of the city centre, but also in the lesser-known neighbourhoods, you will find fun vintage shops and beautiful designer boutiques. And then there is the food culture. Good food is a high priority in the port city these days, and restaurants abound. At night, there is always something going on. From underground club or jazz concert to a locally brewed beer in the pub, urban Rotterdam has it all.
