Absolute favourite. The interior is super low budget but awesome. Be sure to visit their neighbours, WORM, as well if you get the chance.

Sightseeing

Go over the famous Erasmusbridge and find yourself at an old industrial area that has now loads of restaurants, places to go out, et cetera, along with an accumulation of buildings by famous architects (Rem Koolhaas, Norman Foster, MVRDV). Personal favourites: cinema/restaurant Lantarenvenster, Fenix Food Factory. Hotel New York has good oysters. Fun fact: the bridge to Fenix Food Factory is nicknamed “Hoerenloper” (whore’s walker) because the area used to be the red light district.

See Rotterdam from a different perspective! Crowdfunded wooden, yellow bridge designed by ZUS that was built to improve the connection between three areas. Good for Instagram too.
