Ontdek het onontdekte in Rotterdam

Rotterdam verveelt nooit. Volg de voetsporen van de locals en ontdek te stad zoals ze écht is. Check hun tips, maar volg vooral je eigen pad.

Ontdek Rotterdam als een local

Bezoek de Rotterdamse Oogstmarkt voor lokale lekkernijen, een heerlijke en duurzame boerenmarkt op het Noordplein. Kijk in de 1664 spiegels van het Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, het allereerste openbare kunstdepot ter wereld. Neem een watertaxi naar de Marconistraat: de havenindustrie is hier nog voelbaar, naast het nieuwe Makers District M4H, waar veel creatieven (Studio Roosegaarde, Atelier Van Lieshout) zijn gehuisvest. Huur een fiets om de omgeving te verkennen, neem een kijkje bij de Floating Farm waar futuristische landbouw plaatsvindt. Bezoek daarna het nabijgelegen Weelde, een creatieve vrijstaat waar je kunt stoppen voor een drankje en een hapje. Het mooiste park is Het Park bij de Euromast, waar weelderig groen en iconische architectuur elkaar ontmoeten pal naast het stadscentrum. Vergeet tijdens je bezoek aan Het Park niet even te stoppen bij de verborgen historische tuinen van Schoonoord. Meer lokale tips? Kijk op www.dorotterdam.com.

According to the fans of @timetomomo_com , the Rotterdam district Katendrecht is the eighth trendiest neighbourhood of Europe 🏆🏅 Time to share some local tips so you can experience the very best of Katendrecht:

💚 Social & Creative Entrepreneur @lorenzoelstak
‘On the lively, culinary Deliplein in Katendrecht, the @delibirdthaikitchenrestaurant for Thai and RiceTables for Surinamese Javanese, shouldn’t be missed – oh so delicious! The owners are lovely, friendly entrepreneurs who put a lot of love into the dishes. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!’ 🍜🍱

🤍 Owner of @comedyclubhaug @dbstr
‘At Katendrecht you can still see the Rough past. @cafedeouwehoer is located at Delistraat 36 C, a pub with the appearance of a brothel with Chesterfield benches and old props from Katendrecht’s prostitution past. The owner is a lovely man, always up for a chat. I’m not really into tattoos myself, but at @tattoobobshop you can still taste the rough atmosphere of yesteryear. @bistrotdubacrotterdam and @dematroosenhetmeisje also have that harbour vibe.’ 🍸🍤

💚 Founder of the honest booking site @thisismoonback @nielsmeijssen
‘The grand suite of @bedbitesbusiness boutique hotel is a fantastic place to sleep. You can admire the Rijnhaven skyline with Hotel New York from your hotel room. At Moonback, therefore, the map of the city – in this case, Rotterdam – is always central. This gives you a good idea of your temporary neighbourhood.’ 🛏️🌆

In 2022, there is again plenty to do in the city. Let's take a look at 3 highlights that will be coming up this year 🌟

💚 The International Film Festival Rotterdam (IFFR)
@iffr is an annual film festival in Rotterdam. Since its foundation in 1972, it has maintained a focus on independent and experimental filmmaking by showcasing emerging talents and established auteurs 🎥🎞 In response to growing concerns about the spread of the Omicron variant across Europe and a nationwide lockdown in The Netherlands, IFFR has decided to host an adapted festival programme online. Their 51st edition from 26 January to 6 February will offer audiences a slection of films online available in The Netherlands, and IFFR Talks available worldwide, on IFFR.com 🐯🎟️🍿

🤍 Rotterdam Art Week 2022
@rotterdamartweek 2022 will take place from 9 to 13 February. Art Rotterdam will then also be the hub of this festival for art, design and architecture lovers. With special openings, exhibitions in museums and art institutions, pop-up shows and various trade fairs, the art climate in the city will once again be strengthened and enlivened this edition 🎨🖼️

💚 The Rotterdam Rooftop Days & Rotterdam Rooftop Walk
During the Rotterdam Rooftop Days from Thursday 2nd until Sunday 5th of June you can discover many rooftops throughout the city. This year, the festival will put together exciting routes across several rooftops, with on every rooftop a surprising way to use the space and/or to look at the city. There will also be a central rooftop with music, food, drinks and fun. As a special highlight Rotterdam Rooftop Days will organise the Rotterdam Rooftop Walk: a route on rooftop level, including an air bridge between WTC Rotterdam and the Bijenkorf 🌉 Take a walk through the future vision of the layered city! From 26 May until 24 June 2022. More info about the programme and ticket sales will be announced in spring 2022 🌆🧡

2022 has begun! ✨ A good reason for many people to take the dust off their sports shoes, start eating healthier and shop more sustainably 🏃🏼‍♀️🥦🛍 Here are three tips to keep up with your New Year' s resolutions! 🎉

💚 Work outs
Like working out with a view? Then go to the Dakpark. At nine metres high you will find the largest roof park in Europe with a beautiful view of the port of Delfshaven. With all those stairs you can create your own killer work-out 🏃🏻‍♂️🌳

🤍 Healthy food
Looking for a healthy take away snack, breakfast, lunch or dinner? There are plenty of healthy hotspots in Rotterdam! Try the vegatarian and vegan friendly salad bar @snoeisalads 🥬 🫑Besides their delicious salads, they serve wraps and smoothies, all with fresh ingredients. Or stop by at @theharvestnl : a great restaurant that uses local and seasonal products to create delicious healthy meals 🥑🥒

💚 Sustainable shopping
Do you fancy shopping more sustainably in 2022, whether it's for clothes or organic groceries? We got you! Try @pieter_pot , which allows you to shop packaging-free. The idea is simple: have your groceries delivered without packaging 🍏🥨 Another brilliant concept is that of the @theswapshop_nl ♻️ You can hand in the clothes and accessories you no longer wear and in exchange you will receive Swaps. With Swaps and your own contribution, you can then swap other handed-in items 🛍

The Schielandshuis, built in a time when Coolsingel was still a canal and the skyline of Rotterdam was determined by the Laurenskerk. The Schielandshuis has the appearance of a city palace. It is no coincidence that the French emperor Napoleon and Alexander, the Tsar of Russia, once slept here. A beautiful piece of history in the heart of the city 🌟🏰

It is already the last day of 2021 ✨ Time to look back at some great highlights: 🥂

1️⃣ Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, the very first public art depot in the world, opened its doors in Rotterdam on November 6th 💎 Visitors can see the result of 172 years of collecting: more than 151,000 objects housed together 🖼

2️⃣ The 2021 World Mayor Prize is awarded to our mayor Ahmed Aboutaleb for his commitment to treat all citizens as ‘Rotterdammers’, irrespective of their origins and backgrounds 🌍Without this obligation it is not possible to build a stronger, fairer city 🙏🏼

3️⃣ It has been 25 years since the iconic Erasmus Bridge opened. Giving Rotterdam an instant landmark that became the backdrop for countless commercials, film productions and events 💚 It is only fitting that the bridge, with the endearing nickname The Swan, was given illuminated wings for the occasion 🦢✨

4️⃣ Three years after the start of the construction, @dezalmhaven has reached its highest point at 215 metres this year 🎈 De Zalmhaven celebrated this milestone with a fascinating lightshow 😍

5️⃣ On 18, 20 and 22 May, the very special 65th Eurovision Song Contest took place in Rotterdam at the Ahoy Arena. With as big winner @maneskinofficial 🎸🎤🇮🇹

Ready for a new year with new highlights 🥂💚🤍💚
