Curious about how Rotterdam used to be? In the beautiful Scheepvaartkwartier, right on the river Maas, you can still taste the atmosphere of yesteryear.
This is the place to be for good food, monumental buildings and the quays of the Scheepvaartkwartier, where you are constantly reminded that the sea is not far away. The beautiful monumental buildings of this neighbourhood once belonged to self-made port barons, bankers and directors. The grandeur of yesteryear is still evident here, but these days the neighbourhood is also famous for its diverse restaurants. There's the Westelijk Handelsterrein with its convivial grand café atmosphere and Michelin-starred cooking at pavilion Parkheuvel.
