Rotterdam, been there, done that? Why not stray from the beaten track and take a stroll via the Entrepothaven to the Afrikaanderwijk.
With its many green spaces, Blijdorp feels like an oasis in the city, but it’s also a lovely place for shopaholics and foodies.
A medieval city centre? Not in Rotterdam! From Central Station, the city centre – with its abundance of modern architecture – lies right at your feet.
Rotterdam, modern? In the historic Delfshaven, you could almost believe you’ve stepped onto the set of an old Dutch film.
Two urban neighbourhoods with great restaurants and a food hall, linked by a bridge for pedestrians and cyclists.
The 19th-century streetscape of Kralingen is beautiful, stately and peaceful. You can enjoy a breath of fresh air in the Trompenburg Gardens or by the lake.
Enjoy the peace and quiet on a walk around Noordereiland. From here, you’ll have a wonderful view of the skyline along the north bank.
The Oude Noorden is still a lovely, down-to-earth neighbourhood and a real gem for lovers of good food and charming little boutiques.
In the historic Scheepvaartkwartier, you can experience the grandeur of days gone by. Foodies can enjoy a meal in one of the many restaurants.
In the Oude Westen, multicultural influences and trendy initiatives come together in a wealth of lovely shops and bars.
This historic neighbourhood is now known for modern buildings such as the Markthal and the Kubuswoningen. It’s also a great place for a spot of shopping!
The further west you go, the trendier, more experimental and more up-and-coming it gets. M4H is a great example of this.
