You can escape the hustle and bustle for an afternoon in Kralingen. Here, you can enjoy a drink at Aloha or get some fresh air by the lake.
This is the neighbourhood for you if you want to discover the elegant side of Rotterdam. The neighbourhood dates largely from the 19th century and has almost the allure of a Parisian neighbourhood. As you stroll along the stately avenues, youāll come across the students and families who live here. In the Trompenburg Gardens or by the Kralingse Plas, you could almost forget youāre in a big city. In the evenings, Kralingenās cafĆ©s and restaurants are pleasantly busy. At Aloha, in the former Tropicana water park, locals gather for drinks or a party. The neighbourhood is easily accessible on foot or by bike from the city centre, but thereās also a metro service to it.
