Sinterklaas arrives in Rotterdam
Sinterklaas and his ‘Pieten’ (helpers) arrive by boat at the Willemsplein again on Saturday, 16 November at 12:30. They then walk in procession via the Schiedamsedijk, Coolsingel, Meent and Hoogstraat to the Grotekerkplein. The final show on the square starts at 14:45. All kinds of activities are organised in Rotterdam from the arrival of Sinterklaas. On the 6 December, you can wave goodbye as he departs from Hoek van Holland on his steamboat.
