Do you enjoy an exciting mix of multicultural spots and the trendiest bars and shops? Then the Oude Westen is the place for you.

If you’re looking for a vibrant and multicultural neighbourhood, the Oude Westen is the place to be. The West-Kruiskade is often referred to as Rotterdam’s Chinatown, but alongside all the Chinese restaurants and shops, you’ll also find plenty of businesses representing other cultures here. Vacant premises and low rents have attracted many young entrepreneurs, meaning the neighbourhood now offers a delightful mix of exotic and exclusive, trendy shops. The Nieuwe Binnenweg is lined from end to end with lovely coffee bars, restaurants and bakeries. You’ll also find plenty of galleries and artsy shops there. A little further on lies the Museumpark.
