Winding your way between warehouses and skyscrapers, you stroll from Kop van Zuid to Katendrecht: a paradise for foodies and culture lovers.
If you’re looking for an urban and alternative vibe, this is the place to be. On the ‘other side’ of the Nieuwe Maas lies the Kop van Zuid, home to the imposing De Rotterdam building and the historic Hotel New York. With its old warehouses and towering skyscrapers, the neighbourhood certainly lives up to its nickname, ‘Manhattan on the Maas’. The Rijnhavenbrug connects Kop van Zuid with Katendrecht. What was once the harbours’ red-light district is now a working-class neighbourhood with a rugged, industrial feel. This atmosphere is reflected in the Fenix Food Factory, an indoor local market. The heart of the neighbourhood is Deliplein, home to some of Rotterdam’s cosiest cafés and restaurants.
