Got a week in Rotterdam, any ideas?
-
Hi all
I'm working in Rotterdam from next Tuesday until Friday. What should I see, where should I buy beer etc, etc?
I'm going to look at flood resistant architecture and public realm spaces mainly but all suggestions will be considered as the nights are my own
-
How 'bout the red light districts of Rotterdam
-
Thanks Pete but I'm pretty sure I can't put that on expenses.
-
There are many 'coffee shops' around that I'm sure one can request a non itemized bill, remember coffee shops and cafes are different, one sells only food and drinks (boring)
-
Among other things i suggest you to visit the famous Piet Blom's houses, especially if it's still possible to visit an apartment. It's a freak experience.
-
Yeah ... coffee shop first, then go take a peek a Blom's housing project. You'll swear it's art nouveau!
-
If you get a chance go to see the Euromast. It has great views on a clear day and you really get an understanding of the size of the Europort.

my advice: get a train to amsterdam. it only takes about an hour and you'll see the real bad boys of architecture! There's a fantastic art gallery in rotterdam with some amazing installations, cant remember the name. I know the red light district is seedy but if you wanna have a really good night, its the place to go, in amsterdam anyway. Dam square woth a visit too. There's an absolute wealth of beautiful buildings all over. Check out borneo island if you do end up in amsterdam...amazing housing scheme and its just a short bus journey from centraal station.
But apart from that, kick back, relax and spark up a fat one for me!
and yes you gotta do the cofeeshops man its part of the experience!
