February 14
Valentine’s day or not, Rotterdam is always a good city for that perfect date like a shared dinner, a visit to the cinema or just a lovely walk. If you really want to impress, why not stay the night in a romantic hotel?
If you want to make Valentine’s day something special, take your loved-one to Rotterdam. The city may not be known as romantic, but it certainly is: take a walk from Katendrecht to the Wilhelminapier and hang your padlock on the Rijnhaven Bridge. For an active date, visit Ice Rink Rotterdam.
There’s no doubt you’ll get hungry on your day out. What is more romantic than a high tea at the Euromast? If this is literally and/or figuratively too sweet for you, Rotterdam also has great beer cafés where you can toast to love.
If you want to see the largest port in Europe together with your date, then Spido‘s Valentine Dinner Cruise or the Valentine’s Cruise on the Futureland Ferry are highly recommended. If you prefer to view Rotterdam at high altitudes during dinner, go to the Euromast (where you can also stay the night).
Treat your loved-one to a day and night in Rotterdam. This is possible in one of the many design hotels, but did you know that Rotterdam also has several boutique hotels and unique bed and breakfasts? Small, intimate hotels and beautiful rooms in historic buildings - or on a boat! - perfect for romance.
Book them!Is your love a real chocoholic, then buy a box of chocolates at the shop with the same name, or at De Bonte Koe where you can also enjoy them on the spot with a cup of coffee or tea. If you are looking for something else but are not sure what, let yourself be inspired by the wide range at the De Bijenkorf. You can’t go wrong with a bunch of roses, stop at one of the many florists in the city.
