Rotterdam Guide
Buurten
Scheepvaartskwartier (also called Nieuwe Werk) is a beautiful part of town where you can really feel Rotterdam's rich history in shipping. A lovely spot is the Veerhaven, an romantic inner harbor. Near the Veerhaven, you find Het Park, a large city park for a stroll or a picnic in the summer. In Het Park you'll find "Parqiet", a great cafe in the middle of the park with coffees, lunch and cakes.

When you cross the Erasmus Bridge (highly recommend doing this by night!) you get to the 'Kop van Zuid'. Here, you'll find the famous Hotel New York. If you walk further, there is much more to see in this neighbourhood. From Kop van Zuid you can walk towards Katendrecht, the old China Town of Rotterdam. This is now a lively, multicultural neighbourhood with large red brick buildings and old warehouses. Situated around the Deliplein (square) are lots of restaurants and bars. Also recommended is the Fenix Food Factory where you can drink local beers (Kaapse Brouwers) and try a range of food.

Near the AirBnB, you find historic Delfshaven, one of the most beautiful and historic parts of Rotterdam. You can walk there from the AirBnB in under 20 minutes. It's beautiful to walk around the harbour and look at the beautiful old houses. De Pelgrim is a pub and brewery along the water that is always packed with locals.

Ap Halen is a small Indonesian takeaway restaurant in Delfshaven near the AirBnB, popular amongst those who live in the area. Very good value for money. It's small and not many people know about it. There is no menu and the phone number is 06-19989513. When you call, the owner will tell you what's on the menu. Highly recommend.
