Do it like our locals!
Get to know our city as it really is and find out about what’s going on in Rotterdam now. And who knows the city better than the locals? Exactly! That’s why we’ve asked them to tell us more about their Rotterdam.
Rotterdam, city of architecture
Experience the city the way Rotterdammers do: walk along the Maas and admire the view of the iconic skyline, stroll through the Oogstmarkt or along the Kruiskade and pick up the local snacks, and enjoy all the city has to offer. When you get tired, settle down for a picnic in one of our parks: from the hidden Historical Gardens of Schoonoord to the Dakpark with its rooftop view of the harbours. Get inspired during the Rotterdam Architecture Month in June of by new architectural icons, such as Rotterdam Central Station, the Markthal, De Rotterdam, Het Timmerhuis and the Boijmans Van Beuningen Depot.
