Euromast is a must-visit TV tower in Rotterdam, offering breathtaking 360-degree views of the city. It features dining options and two luxurious suites, as well as thrilling activities like abseiling and a zipline. The tour around Euromast includes exploring various residential typologies, IT and media compounds, educational facilities, and sustainable projects such as the SAWA housing tower.
Great tour! It was so much fun and very entertaining, and you discover even more of Rotterdam's beauty! I would definitely recommend doing everything, including the scoop at the end (if you're not afraid of heights, of course). I highly recommend this attraction.
Debson D — Google review
A must! Incredible views. We went up just before sunset and then after sunset, we had a drink and A DELICIOUS AND GENEROUS portion of their fries with truffle mayo and parmesan, so worth it. After that we went back out to experience the views of the lights. It's like 3 experiences in 1. Highly recommend it to locals and tourists.
Magriet J — Google review
Absolutely stunning views and great hospitality. The restaurant, which is accessible by a high-speed lift up overlooks the spectacular scenery of Rotterdam. Food was delicious and service was really friendly. Highly recommended for a visit if you're in Rotterdam.

The waiter was pretty rude! One of the waitresses got us a table with a nice view but that was all of the good experience. We waited 20 minutes to order and when the waiter came he told us that table has a reservation and we had to move to another one so we left the restaurant.
Gosha R — Google review
A moment suspended between sky and earth. The Euromast restaurant offers a culinary experience as memorable as the view that accompanies it. Each dish reflects a refined balance of flavors and a meticulous presentation, enhanced by discreet and attentive service. The panorama over Rotterdam, especially at sunset, lends the whole experience an atmosphere that is both intimate and spectacular. An exceptional address perfect for celebrating a special occasion or simply savoring the Dutch art of living with elegance.
Aimen — Google review
We saw Euromast from the outside. I think the entrance fee is too much. We didn't go up the tower. But it gives a different atmosphere to the city. The park right next to it is very well organized. There is a nice walking area.
Mehmet Ş — Google review
Was great to br able to see Rotterdam from such a height and there is a small video you watch to show the history of Rotterdam. Would have been better if they had signs to show what you are looking at once you are on the viewing platform. Instead there is a QR code you can scan and then you are supposed to be able to point your camera at things and it will tell you what it was, however it doesn't work well at all. You also have to buy a more expensive ticket to go to the highest point. They also do abseiling down the Euromast which wasn't widely advertised.
Jasmine P — Google review
Great views of Rotterdam, and the extra pay to go up to the top is worth it, but the down side is the wait to get into the Euro scoop, you wait out side is the wind and rain. But the view is worth it. Wrap up warm if you visiting in the winter

The bar offers an extensive drinks menu with a focus on Belgian and Dutch craft beers, along with a selection of wine and spirits.

Very relaxed atmosphere and superb beer selection (see beer list photo). Lots of outdoor seating which is covered and had heaters. Table service was available but I ordered from the bar. Some snacks available. Would highly recommend for the very good beers.

Witte de Withstraat, named after a 17th-century admiral, has transformed from a modest residential and commercial street into one of Rotterdam’s liveliest cultural hubs. Revitalized in the 1990s through urban renewal projects, it is now known for its contemporary art galleries, creative spaces, and vibrant nightlife.

Biergarten Rotterdam is a vibrant and seasonal venue that offers an extensive selection of craft and draft beers, along with delicious burgers and bar bites. This charming oasis combines the best elements of a German beer garden with the unique atmosphere of Rotterdam. The communal wooden tables create a welcoming environment where visitors can easily socialize. It has become a popular destination in the city, especially on Friday and Saturday nights when guests can enjoy drinks in the sun.

Okay, this place was fascinating. Being over 60, I was way too old for this venue - its definitely for the younger crowd. That said, felt perfectly at ease here. An abundance of restaurants/fast food places, outdoor kiosks, beer tapes, and a DJ turning electronica. Grabbed a bit of food and several beers from a few places. There are steps that have a Sacre Vibe where the patrons gathered as the sun went down. Very chill. Very cool. It was always our plan to end up here, and although the few blocks between our hotel and this were the seediest part of town we saw, the biergarten itself was excellent.

Our stay at the Biergarten was excellent! The alcohol free Radler in the sun was the perfect start in the day.

I was a bit unlucky with my timing so I couldn't see any artists performing. Nevertheless, great selection of drinks and the staff helped me with getting an idea what I can imagine behind the terms on the menu. Also some adaptions due to allergies were made. As some other places were quite underwhelming in regards of vegan options for me, this became my little safe space during my trip. Thank you so much Rotown Crew!

A nice live stage . Easy access, close by to the train station. Only complication was the safe box , that it works with special coins but it’s not well informed, so a lot of people, including me we put €2,- ( that it’s written) and the young realised that it doesn’t work .. Anyway that’s the only minus point..

Toffler is a renowned underground club in Rotterdam, known for its tunnel-shaped interior and pulsating house and techno beats. It has gained a reputation for hosting some of the best underground parties in the city. The club features a unique moving DJ booth that adjusts to create an immersive dance floor experience as the night progresses.
Don't expect radio hits and fancy drinks. In this old pedestrian tunnel the music is hard techno, the ceiling is low and people are dancing. Top points for atmosphere and music. Prices are decent and guards nice. Great location in central Rotterdam. Could be better ventilation and alot of the lockers are broken,
Patric B — Google review
If you care about clubbing, avoid this venue at all costs. Music was fine, but the entire club runs on a scamming operation where you have to buy tokens for everything, including to go to the bathroom. If you are 18 and don't know any better, that would be tolerable, but if you are an experienced clubber this will grate your soul against the post-capitalist dystopia that is the essence of this club. Avoid at all costs, save your money, and find a bar that stays open late instead.
Slinkybot 1 — Google review
Do not make the same mistake as me and visit this club. There is no issue with the music, sound system, entrance fee, bouncers, etc. But after entry, you must exchange money for tokens to buy drinks at the bar, including just water. Additionally, it is 1 token to use the bathrooms! Water and restrooms are basic human rights that you must PAY FOR in this venue. This unethical business practice is disgusting. Do not visit Toffler! Remove this token scheme and make it free to use the rest rooms.

I’m gonna start by saying that i’ve been in the Rotterdam club scene for years now. This club is absolutely the worst club i’ve been in (and i’ve seen some horrible stuff in clubs). Lets start with the prices: 20 euro entry fee on a normal day. Nothing special was going on The club was absolutely DEAD It was full of creepy men that can’t wait to get a chance to touch you. Even if it was non consensual The whole place operates on “coins” (which is fine a lot of places do) BUT THIS ONE takes the cake for Scamiest one After your 20 euro entry fee. You ofcourse have to pay for TOILETS?!? And you guessed it. By coins You can only get 3 coins at a time and that costs 10,50. And the toilet is a coin. Lockers were expensive too! Every thing in that club was overpriced NOW TO THE SECURITY/BOUNCERS! Absolutely the worst of the worst The security came up to me in the lockers and snatched my purse and started going through it because i looked “suspicious”. He genuinely acted more aggressive than a police officer looking for drugs. And while all of this was going on. HE DID NOT EVEN SPEAK A WORD! Until he found nothing. And didn’t even apologize after. And now the music: One word. Boring Please don’t waste a single cent on this place. The vibes were extremely hostile and it just feels extremely unsafe for girls

Overall it was a great experience ! The sound quality is great (bring your earplug as they don't give them for free but you can buy for 5€), the atmosphere is nice and underground, bar staff is super friendly !! :) Reasonable price for the drinks. We were celebrating a bachelorette party and a bit worried of the comments about the security guards but really nothing to declare. They were doing their job and we felt safe, no rudeness at all. You need to pay 2€ for access all night to toilets, but they were filthy, really not clean.. event for candies you need to pay. Not used to pay for everything in a club that's the only thing we have to say :)
Florence R — Google review
Worst club I have ever been in Rotterdam. The security guards are racist and they are there to destroy people’s nights. Tonight we were trying to get into the club and first we got and ID check. He checked the ID of my brother and afterwards he said he couldn’t enter, just because he was using sweat pants. But the pants were just an excuse. I asked the security to show me the dress code in the conditions of the ticket and he said he is not gonna talk to me if I don’t speak Dutch, which dressconditions is the same world. Of course there was no dress code in in the club and he said afterwards that it is a condition because he says that. We had to go and change clothes so he could enter. What a way of ruining someone’s night. TRY TO CHOSE EVERY CLUB RATHER THAN THIS ONE.

Food was burger or veggie burger, we don’t eat. There is some amazing beers on tap. Think the idea was it was going to be a good hub. It’s not quite there yet. But there are lots of great food places within walking distance. Sit and enjoy a beer 🍺 or 2 and if a burger is for you then you’re in.

This is an incredible food hall with great variety and service. I tried the Pho beef soup from the Vietnamese restaurant and my partner tried the burger place. Both dishes were so tasty and they were actually big portions. They also have a bar so you can have a drink with your food - they have their own local beer! They also support other local breweries in the area. The athmosphere is cozy and I recommend a date night there if you can't decide where to eat - they have all types of food there.

A really nice little food market, about 15 minutes by bike from the city centre. The views from the seating area are quite stunning. We had a cheeseboard, tried some of the beers, and had a really lovely time sat in the sun. The prices seemed about average for the Netherlands.

Great venue! We saw the delvon Lamar organ trio and it was a hell of a show! really enjoyed the venue as well. we got there ten minutes before doors opened and we got an amazing spot up front. A whole bunch of parking was available around the area and right out front. definitely will be coming back if and bands i like come through

Best Jamsession place in Rotterdam. It was so cool to go on the stage to perform🧡

I really like this place for partying but they increased the price for entrance fee like 5€ at once. It is becoming quite expensive, and it is one of the few nice places in Rotterdam so makes it less accessible unfortunately. Probably the reasoning is sth along the line of their costs are getting high, but still really a pity.

We attended a wonderful performance at the Bird. A great little venue with a personal feel. They had Budweiser on tap which was unexpected since you don't often see American beers on tap here in the Netherlands. Enjoyable evening all around. There was a minor snafu with the ticketing system that was quickly resolved.

The starter was the first surprise. A wonderful Carpaccio. Afterwards we had the fish of the day, another taste explosion with sea-grass, artichokes and some kind of stuffed pasta. But the dessert hit us like a bus. Mango-Panda cotta with five-spices-ice cream. Wow! What a match. Chapeau to the chef. Service was excellent. Questions about the food were answered promptly and the wine-suggestions matched perfectly. Thank you for making this “regular evening” something very special.

All organisers should boycott this venue and attendees too. I am already telling everyone about this and I will never stop. It's a huge scandal that everyone must know: they charge you 2 euros to use the toilet for each use. Quite frankly, this is disgusting - my friend had endometriosis too (health condition, very strong periods), yet that didn't change mind. Stop charging people money to use the toilet, the venue should hire cleaners - it's ridiculous to expect customers that are already paying for food and drinks and music to pay AGAIN for the toilet. This is a basic human right.

Well known jazz club in Rotterdam. Has a restaurant, a bar and if course a stage. Location of my dad's last jazz concert, and my son's first, some years back. My son actually played here tonight. Pretty cool. Nice place. Paid parking around the back.

Event venue
Maassilo, a former grain silo on the southern banks of the Maas River, boasts a futuristic appearance despite being over 100 years old. It has been transformed into a cultural center with four distinct club venues. The 10th floor is home to Now and Wow Club, offering electronic music and special events for emerging artists. Performance Bar focuses on various art forms for late-night entertainment.
Superb venue with multiple large rooms. I especially recommend going to techno events there as the spacing and equipment is optimal for this. Corridors enable people to move freely in the club without squishing each other towards one single exit which I find very convenient. The only improvement I could suggest would be a bigger smoker area outisde or with more options to sit. Other than that great place to rave.
Paul V — Google review
In my opinion, it is one of the best event venues in the Netherlands. The venue is huge and has a lot of lockers and toilets as well, which isn't always the case with event venues. A lot of parking spots close to the venue as well.

Attended the Sofa vs Dancehall event on March 1st. Awesome shows and the different artists and DJ's that travelled from abroad to perform. The toilets could use a bit of an upgrade. Very spacious inside and well ventilated. Depending on the next interesting event held, I'd surely attend.

The place is nice and big, however I had to leave at 1 since I went out to smoke and apparently you are not allowed to go back in. Apparently that is a “policy” in all Dutch clubs according to the security which I am confident is not the case since that is not the first club I am visiting here. I was never notified upon leaving that I may not go back in which resulted in me without a jacket in 9degrees cold weather (even though I paid 20 euros for ticket that I showed). A quick tip: either note that “Dutch policy” on the website or inform people who are going outside that they may not go back in- unreasonable in my opinion. Experience was 0/10 because of that.

Love the venue, the industrial vibe. Drinks arent the best for the price. Also toilet fee makes no sense if ticket is purchased. Maybe a way to stay a afloat somehow 👀
Dani — Google review
I know that dutch clubs are nothing special but this time im not only disappointed but actually mad. Inside everyone is “marking” their territory wherever they find comfortable (including hallways and other man areas). Setting that to the side, me and a friend of mine went outside to smoke but were not let back in because according to dutch club’s policy you are not allowed inside once you leave the establishment despite having tickets- makes sense right? I had 0 drinks which allowed me to speak with the security guards explaining that we were not informed about that neither upon exiting nor online (so I guess you need to me a medium to know that). We stayed in the cold with no jackets at 1am since we were not even let in to get our jackets inside. Mid conversation I was told that if I dont leave immediately things will get bad for me. Absolutely 0 assistance from the club management (not adequate btw). All of that resulted in getting sick and having to beg for my own personal belongings. So basically I payed 20 euros for 1 hour inside and a quick cigarette in front of the establishment. Customer experience was next level.

After waiting for like 2 hours outside (cold) in the row finally made it inside which is a shame! The concert started late but finished on time. Shame on this. The place is nice tho but the smoke inside almost killed my lungs.

Club Vibes, located near the lively Witte de Withstraat nightlife area in Rotterdam, has been a local favorite for almost a decade. This intimate and easygoing club offers an energetic atmosphere and plays an eclectic mix of music genres, catering to a diverse crowd. On Thursdays, you can enjoy alternative music like dubstep and electro, while Fridays and Saturdays feature mainstream pop and classic hits. The small yet lively dance floor keeps the energy high until the early hours of the morning.
Although there are a lot of people saying bad things about the place, our experience last week (23-Sep) was great. The place is nice, the entrance and security were fine. The things we had at the bar were good and the price is ok. It was not so crowded, so this was a down point, but of course is a no one to blame problem. The music was good, although it could be better, but the place itself is fine and the price is good.

Close quarters club, no place to chill and relax. Bouncers can be quite aggressive and unfriendly. Toilets are usually pretty disgusting but free. Entre fee is pretty low and normal prices for drinks. Music depends on the night. But the dancefloor is usually too crowded. Can have a good time though.

The S.S. Rotterdam offers a unique experience as a hotel, restaurant, and tourist attraction all in one. This former cruise ship turned hotel provides colorful rooms, free breakfast, and an outdoor pool for guests to enjoy. Visitors can book tickets for a dinnertime cruise on the pancake boat to get an overview of the city and its port. The Museum Rotterdam offers insight into the city's history with a one-hour overview.
Lovely hotel. It really felt like we were on a cruise. Lovely room with a view, and friendly staff. Breakfast buffet was great and we had it every day. On the last night, we had dinner on the ship. It was delicious. Easy to get about. Water taxi from boat or bus stop nearby. We had a great stay.
Lauretta H — Google review
Enjoyed our stay here and would stay here again. However upon our first arrival our cab dropped us off next to the ship and it wasn't clear which of the three ways to board was the correct entrance, and eventually we figured out the entrance was the stairway tower with the broken elevator. There was also a noticeable difference between the breakfast buffet on the weekend and the weekday breakfast buffet. But we loved the retro vibe and the vintage luggage and ship displays. Plus walking the nearby small neighborhood which has a couple good restaurants.

A beautifully maintained ocean liner from a bygone era. Now it’s a hotel, museum and restaurant. It’s free to enter and roam around the public areas or visit the cafe and restaurant. However the all area tour requires the purchase of a ticket. There is a small cinema which is free to enter and showing a short video of what travel would have been like on this ship. From the top deck you also have a good view of Rotterdam and the harbour. I recommend to combine this visit with the FENIX migration museum which is in walking distance and gives a broader overview and shows videos of shipping of that era including film material of the SS Rotterdam.

Had drinks and appetizers in the Captain's lounge of the former Holland America flagship. They were very and the G&T was well presented, decorated with mint leaves and strawberries. While undoubtedly a great ship in the 1950s, I'm glad we are sailing on the new one tomorrow.

We had an excellent stay on the SS Rotterdam. We stayed for two nights in a deluxe room, including breakfast, and had dinner in the Lido restaurant on one of the evenings. This was our sixth stay on the ship. During previous visits, we stayed in a family room, which I don’t recommend due to ventilation system noise. The watertaxi platform is very convenient, allowing easy access to various locations in Rotterdam. It’s also a very pleasant walk from the ship to Hotel New York, the Erasmus Bridge, the Cube Houses and the Markthal. The staff were friendly and we had a wonderful time.
Gerard — Google review
Honestly just a fantastic place to stay! Really felt like a unique one of a kind hotel. We were there for a week in July and my children talk about it every day. The little paddling pool for children on the top deck is fantastic!! The rooms are spacious and charming. But our favourite part was probably the water taxis which pick you up right outside and zip you across to the centre in minutes. Absolutely blew us away and we’d love to visit again one day!
Anna — Google review
My wife and I really enjoyed this hotel. The location is excellent with water taxi service right onto the ship. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Great breakfast and restaurant. The Lido open air deck is fantastic! Our room was a suite which was very nice. Finally, free shuttle to the cruise terminal (at least when cruising on Holland America, not sure about other cruise lines).
Jeff Y — Google review
Water pressure is too low for reasonable shower. Size of the rooms is very good. My biggest concern with this property is that I was locked into the emergency escape stairwell with no way either back into the rest of the ship nor out of it. This is dangerous and unacceptable and the front desk did not recognize this problem.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Supermercado, a Latin American cocktail bar and restaurant nestled in the heart of Rotterdam. This unfussy establishment offers a diverse menu featuring classic Mexican tacos, tantalizing Peruvian ceviche, and Brazilian coxinhas. The venue exudes street food vibes and invites guests to savor an array of meat, vegetarian, and vegan dishes meant for sharing.
Good food. We had the set menu which was sufficient and tasty. Good drinks as well . The IPA on tap was excellent.

1. The place is huge. They have 20+ tables outdoor and like at least 30 tables indoor so finding a table will not be an issue. 2. The service is quick and very friendly. 3. The food was good. Nothing special or extraordinary. 4. Their ice teas are very good. I would recommend their ice tea. 5. Their tacos are overpriced. And I felt not worth the price. The taste was average. 6. Their burrito salad was a little bland. But adding their homemade habanero sauce will fix this. 7. Their sweet potato fries were the best. That was the tastiest dish we ordered 10/10. Overall a good restaurant. This is OK to go to if you're craving for some Mexican. Not my first recommendation for Mexican cuisine but this place is not bad.
Shishir G — Google review
Supermercado is what you imagine Mexican food to be if you live anywhere not in Mexico. I appreciate the serving sizes of the food and for what it is, it's serviceable. But honestly I almost forgot I went to this place until I went back to check out the places I've been in Rotterdam. It is popular with the locals though, and the place fills up pretty quickly during dinnertime, especially when the weather's good out.

Visited this restaurant on a Saturday evening. We sat inside, it was packed and loud. Tip- make a reservation in advance. We ordered the nachos and tacos which were alright. It came cold and dry. The surprise for us was the chicken and coleslaw. It was juicy and tasty. I also had the lychee cocktail which was nice! We spent close to EUR 200 for 4 people including food and drinks, which I personally found a bit steep for the quality of the food.
Sonia J — Google review
I went here for an apericena with friends. The service was excellent: the girl who served us was really kind and attentive, definitely a positive point. As for the food, the experience was mixed: • Nachos were okay, nothing special. • The burger was good and well prepared. • The salmon with rice and asparagus was tasty and well done. • The Mexican picanha was disappointing — it seemed more like flank steak than true picanha. • The French fries had an unpleasant smell, probably because the oil had also been used to fry fish. Prices are quite high, so we expected more attention to overall quality. 👉 My advice to the restaurant: take more care in selecting the meat and pay attention to the quality of the frying oil — it really makes a difference! That said, we’ll be happy to come back and give it another try.
Vincenzo P — Google review
The place has a nice and cozy atmosphere, the service was nice and fast. The nachos were really good but the tacos disappointed… they were a bit cold and the tortilla fell apart before eating. Would recommend the place to drink something and eat some nachos but the tacos are definitely overpriced for their quality.
Alejandra — Google review
My partner and I attended our friends birthday party at Supermercado and we were quite excited about the location however to say we were disappointed would be an understatement. For info we were with a group of 14 people and had the a la carte option. We took the picanha option with fries and corn. The picanha the waiter told me would be entrecote instead. The piece of meat seemed like it was quite low quality as it had alot of chewy bits that couldn't really be eaten. We asked for medium rare and it was basically well done. The chimichurri also didn't have a nice flavor in our opinion (3 people ordered same thing and we all had different nationationalities so it's also not a local preference or something) all in all the meat was pretty bad, the nachos that the group ordered and the fries were pretty good. So were the drinks. Would I go back? No the price for what I got was too bad in my opinion but I can see that some people might enjoy it
Christiaan L — Google review
Drinks are great in general! The spicy margarita is really spicy and could be more flavorful. We got the chips and salsa (pico de gallo) which was disappointing. We were offered very little salsa for the amount of chips we got. Salsa was very watery and was more of tomato water. We found the chips to be better with the spicy mayo sauce from the jalepenos con queso dish.

The bar's relaxed ambiance, combined with its indoor and outdoor seating options, makes it a welcoming destination year-round.

One of the nicer places that I visited in Rotterdam. One of the ladies was really attentive and took her time to explain the beer selection. 3 out of 4 beers were hits. Unfortunately it became crowded eventually so I left after my 4th. Would have eaten there but the main food selection starts after 4pm.

While the staff is friendly and welcoming, the food didn't quite meet expectations in terms of value. The prices here are a bit high for what you get. On the bright side, we enjoyed watching the Holland vs. Turkey match during our visit. The atmosphere was vibrant, with everyone engrossed in the game, making it a memorable experience. A notable point is that the table service stops quite early at 19:30. After that, all orders need to be placed at the bar for self-service.

So lucky to find this brewery on our first full day in Rotterdam. This got to be one of the best brewery I've visited.

Ever since they moved, it is not the same anymore. Inside it all feels cramped, and I really think the magic has sort of gone now.

The greatest place for beer in Rotterdam. Period. Apart from their own tasty selection, there's always a wealth of great international craft beers on tap. Add to that the nice surroundings of the Fenix Food Factory, their own little place in there (with friendly staff and awesome jazz sessions) and - if weather permits - the whole dock outside to spread out onto (with one of the best views of the city), and you've easily got my favourite spot in the city.

Went here with some friends and it was a really nice place with a big selection of beers on tap. The venue is quite cozy and there’s plenty of couches and chairs to choose from. There’s also board games for a more chill experience. The beers range from blondes to stouts to IPA’s so there’s something for everyone. The beers are decent however none I tried really blew me away and the venue on a Thursday was really empty which was a shame but maybe it was just an off night. Overall good venue and a nice place to try many beers so I do recommend.

If you're looking for a vibrant nightlife experience in Rotterdam, look no further than Superdisco Bar.

From Wednesday to Saturday, guests can indulge in tasty nachos and tacos before hitting the dance floor to groove to retro-inspired beats that keep the energy high.
My favourite place. Especially after 23:00. I got amazing experience with the cocktail "old fashion" which was made by the bartenders named Ben & Quinten. The guys tried and they succeeded. I myself am a bartender with experience, but I drank the current old fashion only in Brooklyn. no doubt put 5 stars.mbrawoo.

Really dissatisfied with this club, firstly it’s one of the only clubs in Rotterdam witte de Witt straat that charges entry fee (15eu). Then you also have to pay 50c every time you go to the toilet (what?) and to top it off the the place is at the basement level not even full probably 50% full but blazing hot! With music that’s super mid and boring so I don’t really know how they justified the 15eu when you can get a way better experience by any one of the number of bars (like NRC, witteaap) that has better aircon better music and no entry fee

Had a great dinner with the Family for my birthday with a group of 7. We started out with some drinks at the bar and after that we went to have dinner. We chose the 2nd menu, it is possible to switch up some dishes. The food was amazing as well as the timing for each course and the service in between! Also make sure to try their Champagne! Wonderful night that I would recommend to anybody!

We had a lovely diner and evening. We arrived 15 minutes before our 19:30 reservation, so we hit the bar with a glass of wine. The ambience was really nice, dimmed lights, soft music, created an unique atmosphere. No one rush us to meet our reservation, I believe they might be taking only one reservation per night, so you can enjoy every moment and step if you get a multiple course dinner. We moved to our table after a while, and we were welcome by the staff. Get ready to eat, the welcome dish was some Spanish ham, this is courtesy and not charged. We opted for a 5 course dinner accompanied by a “pairing” (basically one different wine per dish that should fit well with it), but in this case we limited it to 3 (consider it as an option if also don’t feel like drinking too much), since we felt that it we would had to rush to finish each cup. The whole experience allows you to take your time, have a nice evening, enjoy the dishes and wine. The food was simply incredible, we were really happy with our choice, and we enjoy every single bite. Even the most simple things like bread and butter were exquisite. The selection of wine was also outstanding. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and they were very attentive. My girlfriend standup to go to the toilet, and one waiter put her chair on its place and neatly positioned her napkin on the table. We left really full and really happy. We would probably come back some day. More than recommended!

A friendly welcome and relaxed, smiling service. The only problem was that the kitchen wasn't able to deliver our dish as requested after 30 minutes, so we had to opt for 2 other dishes with a bit of delay... I'm not sure that the music from the islands is really appropriate for the setting, which is a good one. A place to visit, as well as the surrounding area.

Am totally confused about this place. The reviews are raving and then we had a client dinner there and no one enjoyed it. Some of us took the vegetarian menu and some the fish and steak. So overall we tried everything. We also started with the oyesters and vegetarian bitterballs which were honestly the best part of the meal. Then the vegetarian menu, out of four dishes 2 were cold. It wasn’t great. Then the risotto was made of sunflower seeds (why would you do this to me) and we had a pumpkin apricots ravioli which we couldn’t even have two bites. We ate the cheese inside and left the rest. The fish had no taste. In that full meal the steak was the best course The desert was good and was honestly the saving grace of the meal. The staff were brilliant, ambiance was great but you can’t have overpriced food with such pool quality honestly.

Friendly staff. We had the 6 course deluxe meal, best dish was the first delicious steak tartar. Loved the bread with the glitter butter! Other courses were good. Dessert was a let down a few strawberry pieces with a little ice and cream. Cocktails are pretty good. Cappuccino after dinner was very poor. 3 stars mainly because of the value for money ratio.

It’s a really big station and looks really nice. There are lots of place to sit and wait for your train. The outside looks gorgeous and perfectly designed also. The only thing that bother me is that the station can be sometimes a mes. And also the staff are really appreciative and kind but some of them can be harsh for no reason.

Beautiful central station with helpful security staff, one needs the ticket bar code to enter and exit. I was facing an issue making it work but the security staff member was kind enough to help me. The displays of the train numbers and platform nos.are clear. Variety of food options inside the station to choose from.

The station is the largest transport hub in the south of the Netherlands, combining striking modern design with efficiency. The original station opened in 1847, while the current building—designed by Benthem Crouwel, Meyer en Van Schooten, and West 8—was completed in 2014. Its tilted roof and futuristic façade make it an architectural landmark. As part of Europe’s high-speed rail network, it serves Thalys, Eurostar, and Intercity Direct trains connecting Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, and London, alongside extensive domestic NS services

Yeah look, I love the architecture from the outside, to the point that if I had been if I had been an architect I wish I would've designed that shape. The service centre could be quite busy but the staff was very nice and helpful and got me the ticket to go Amsterdam, even though honestly, I probably could've bought it from one of the machines if I wasn't so technologically challenged. I know I'm nitpicking and this is the standard in Europe, but I really hate it when I have to pay to go to the dunny when nature calls and despite some other reviewers comments about there being plenty of seating spaces, I didn't see a lot of seating places in the platform and I had to sit on my suitcase. As a result, the bread I bought as a gift for my ex-boss ended up being squashed from the force of my butt. But that one is on me.

Beautiful construction and a very efficient station with good food options, plenty of lifts and helpful staff. Located in a brilliant spot. Will still mark this 5 stars as everything is overwhelmingly so good but would like to mention the poor standards of toilets. The toilets are not by the government they're located upstairs and it's a company operating of which I forgot the name. We went into the disabled toilets for a baby change and the smell was horrific to the point we had to change our baby in the corner in his pram which is horrible. The person who worked at the toilets had a horrible attitude and when I asked him for a bin for the babies nappy he started shaking his head and sighed before he picked up the bin to give it to me. Very rude person which left us feeling awful for a few hours after that experience. Thankfully everyone else around was very pleasant. Definitely one of the nicer stations to look at in the Netherlands!

Beautiful station and a real Rotterdam landmark. Modern design with subtle nods to older stations, like the sculpture from the old station, reminds me the old days, and the lighting—bright plaza by day, glowing hall at night—really works for a busy hub. The roof clearly thinks about sustainability. Biggest problem: hardly any seating place like benches or chairs, so it's not great if you want to pause. On the flip side, fewer seats do keep people moving, which helps the flow.

We attended the Sagopa Kajmer concert and also had tickets for the after party, so we bought two separate tickets in total. The artist I was looking forward to seeing was on stage for less than an hour, but still, it was nice to listen, sing along, and share the moment with an artist we love. However, after the concert ended, there were very few people left, and even though there were plenty of empty seats, we were told to get up from where we were sitting—twice. My sister was tired, so she had to sit on the stairs while we waited for the after party. Then, we were told we couldn’t sit there either. The staff’s attitude was absolutely terrible; no customer should be treated that way. In a nearly empty venue, being forced to move from our seats felt completely unfair. The party, scheduled between 11:30 PM and 5:00 AM, was almost empty, and most areas were roped off as “VIP,” not allowing anyone in. It wasn’t lively at all, so the after party ticket ended up being a waste. The staff really need to learn to speak to customers more politely. The venue itself had a nice atmosphere, but the organization was weak, and we couldn’t see any other positives. Still, after such a long time, it made us happy to be at Yunus Abi’s concert again.

While waiting for the after party to be prepared, we were not allowed to sit in the clean seating areas. Even when we sat on the stairs, we were told to move. The bartender was very inexperienced, and instead of solving the issues we reported, he acted indifferent. Overall, there was a lack of attention and care, and we were not satisfied with the experience.

one of the worst club i’ve ever been to. it was genuinely bad. Club was literally empty and dead at 1am. Feels like you’re in an arena with men sitting around and looking at you. Dance floor is about 1/5 of the whole space, the rest being grandstands. The crowd is composed of 30 year olds and clearly underaged girls. Anything to fill the arena. Also super expensive. 2€ per piece of clothing + 2€ for each bathroom trip. Finally, the music is bad. That’s it. Do it at the risk of your own peril.

We came here on a Friday evening as a large group of colleagues, almost 20 people, and luckily—despite having a reservation inside—we were able to find a spot outside thanks to the lovely weather. Following the waiter’s recommendation, I ordered a Paloma, and it was truly delicious—lightly sweet, easy to drink, and very refreshing! I even ordered a second one. We shared some nachos to start. They were tasty, but I was expecting something with ground meat—instead, it came with just cheese sauce, spicy sauce, and chips. For taco, I had ‘Birria’ —the pulled beef and the melted cheese, and it was delicious. The service was a bit slow and there were a few mix-ups here and there, but considering it was a busy Friday night and we were a large group, I think it was all within an acceptable range.

FINALLY GREAT TACOS IN ROTTERDAM!!! But ALSO, great service AND cocktails?!?! SI SEÑOR!!! 🫡🫡🫡 I'm Mexican and a foodie, so it was my goal to find great tacos here.... and I can happily say that these are truly FANTASTIC! I had the lechon and birria tacos. The lechon was soft, juicy and perfectly cooked and the birria.... wow.... one bite and you'll go to taco heaven 😋 These tacos are like they should be: a PUNCH of flavor with every bite 🙌 Oh but it doesnt end here! 💅 They also have fantastic cocktails and a quite nice selection of Mezcal bottles, which is a rare find in Rotterdam. Last but not least, the service is super friendly, gives great recommendations, and is attentive. Atmosphere wise, it starts quite nice and chill around 6-7pm; but once the food is over and the drinks keep coming, it definitely becomes a more lively and and cozy!

Hotel New York is a chic riverside hotel located in the former headquarters of the Holland-America Line on the southern bank of the Maas river. This nationally landmarked building has been lovingly restored and converted into a four-star boutique hotel, featuring wood-paneled suites, vintage artifacts, and maritime-inspired dining options. The hotel offers stunning views of the water and Rotterdam skyline, making it a popular spot for high tea and leisurely meals.
Location - perfect, room - incredibly spacious, overlooking the river and quirky. The hotel itself has an industrial warehouse feel and is a bit of a one off. Wish we could have stayed longer. Only criticism is that breakfast didn't offer much for people who don't eat animal products. I was able to have some fruit, bread and peanut butter with a black coffee.

We visited for my husband’s birthday with a reservation for four, which included a welcome glass of champagne. The booking process was very smooth—quick replies and easy confirmation, which gave us a great first impression. Unfortunately, the experience at the restaurant itself didn’t quite live up to expectations. When we arrived, the staff member who welcomed us didn’t seem to check the reservation properly, so we were seated without being offered the welcome champagne. While waiting, two different staff members came to ask for drink orders, creating confusion. I eventually spoke with a more experienced team member who acknowledged the communication error and handled it professionally. Our assigned waiter after that point was excellent—friendly, attentive, and communicative. The gentleman who seemed to be supervising also handled the situation well and showed genuine care. The food, however, was a letdown. My tuna steak came too raw, despite requesting it medium, and my daughter didn’t finish her chicken. While the lentils and starters were enjoyable, the main courses didn’t stand out. On top of that, the temperature inside was uncomfortably warm, which added to our decision to skip dessert and leave earlier than planned. We had requested a candle in advance to celebrate the occasion, and while we didn’t stay for dessert, the team kindly brought it out anyway—a thoughtful gesture we appreciated. Overall, while the restaurant positions itself as a laid-back brasserie, I believe this iconic location deserves consistently high-quality service and well-prepared, simple dishes that leave guests saying, “We have to come back.”

Let’s start with the negative part: at check-in there were 2 young ladies with a bit of an attitude. Not super unfriendly but bitchy in the way of giving information and answering our questions. Something you should not expect in an hotel like this. The second was that when we received a phone call if we would like to upgrade with extra payment, the asked for the purpose of our stay, which was are honeymoon. It was noticed but they have nothing done with that. Not that they have too, but giving your costumers a little bit extra attention, would be appreciated. Rooms are nice, bed pillows are horrible for me. Everything is clean except for the texture like feeling on the front of the toilet. Porcelain should be smooth not rough. View is amazing if you book for the river Maas view. The historical feeling in this building is pleasant. Breakfast is expensive but good, don’t forget to ask for an omelette in the kitchen. It was the best one I ever ate. Parking is expensive with 35 euros per day. So all good but enough points for improvement.

This was a most disappointing experience after we had been looking forward to staying at Hotel New York for a number of years. The hotel feels as if it has got a crisis of identity and whilst it is a very interesting historic building, I do not feel that it has been well developed into a 4 star hotel. The prime focus of the hotel appears to be the bar/restaurant which is in the prime position at the front of the hotel and is clearly very busy. This makes it very noisy and not a good place for a relaxing birthday dinner. You approach the hotel from the rear and the entrance is tucked away in a corner. It is not well signposted, has weeds growing around rht paving and has a number of steps up to the reception making it very difficult for anyone with impaired mobility. I could not find any mention of this problem on the hotel web site and it was never mentioned when I asked about access before I booked. There was no porter service and only one luggage trolly which was of limited use because of the number of stairs. Many rooms are only accessible by stairs and there were 2 steps in our room. There is no parking at the hotel but there is an excellent private parking garage adjacent to it but this needs to be booked and cost us 54 Euro for 2 days. The room was not to 4 star standards and lacked a number of things like fridge, USB charging points and easily accessible power sockets. The bed side light switches were also a long stretch from the bed. The bathroom had been modernised and was very good, it is a shame that the room had also not been given a suitable makeover. Food in the restaurant at dinner was very good but the overall dining experience was spoilt by the noise levels and hussle and bussle, it was more like a city centre bar than a 4 star restaurant. The breakfast buffet was nothing special and the staff at breakfast clearly did not want to be there. We ended up cutting short our stay because the difficulty of accessing the hotel was causing my Wife distress as she has impaired mobility. The hotel has a fabulous location and a great history but I do not feel that it has been developed very well. The developers should take a look at the Titanic Hotel in Liverpool to see what a great job can be done of developing such an old historic building. If we had not been to the Delft WestCord hotel and had an excellent stay, I would be avoiding this company in future.

Great hotel; slightly dated but that’s part of the charm. Amazing building. Good breakfast. Only reason it isn’t a 5 stars from me is because we tried to have a drink in the bar (not the exclusive, need to book downstairs one just the normal main bar) but there was a huge queue (despite several empty tables) and we were told that despite being hotel guests we had to wait alongside the non guests. Wouldn’t expect to have to do that. Otherwise great.

My room view was very lovely, looking to Erasmus bridge. I stayed in April when the weather was wet and cold, and while the atmosphere was wonderful, the room heating was unfortunately not sufficient, which made the stay less comfortable than expected. Keep in mind to bring warm clothes to wear in the room :)

If you are in Rotterdam and taking a Holland America cruise, you should 100% book at this hotel for a stay before your cruise. The hotel is really cool. Historic but new feeling. They have done a wonderful job turning this "office building" into a collection of great rooms with great views. We arrived the day before our cruise and checked-in easily. Walked down to the Foodhallen and had a relaxed meal and some drinks. The morning of our cruise, we enjoyed a great breakfast at the hotel and then simply walked 2 minutes down to the ship. CRAZY EASY!!! Love this hotel!!

Disappointing experience from the start. There was no smile, no sense of welcome at the entrance. While we were waiting, the staff member who asked about reservations didn’t even look at us, instead speaking past us to people behind. A simple acknowledgment of the first couple in line would have been the respectful approach. Another colleague later handled things more appropriately, but by then the poor first impression was set. The bar wasn’t crowded, yet we were left waiting unnecessarily, only to be told in the end to “just choose a place at the bar.” If that was the plan all along, there was no need to waste our time. The bartender was the one positive note—friendly and attentive—but overall the service at the entrance left a very negative impression. When staff give the impression they don’t want to be there, it makes guests feel unwelcome. Not worth the hype. Won’t be returning.

The Kijk-Kubus Museum-house, located near Blaak station in Rotterdam, is a must-visit for architecture enthusiasts. This unique museum allows visitors to explore the iconic Cube Houses and learn about their history and design. The museum house is furnished with vintage decor from the 1970s, providing an immersive experience of living inside these architectural wonders. It features models, photos, and computers that explain architect Piet Blom's cube project.
The architecture is absolutely unique! So cool to see these houses in person. The color is so bright 🌞😎 and vibrant. Very close to Markthal so a quick walk and you're there. We highly recommend making this a stop on your Rotterdam bucket list.

My buddy told me about this cool landmark, I took a train from Amsterdam to get there. It was late when I arrived. I didn’t get to view inside the architecture, even though the surface was yellow, you could still clearly see that it was being built for decades. If you’re in the area, you should totally drop by. I solely walked around these innovative houses, had a meal and headed back.

The Cube Houses are truly one of the most unique architectural sights I’ve ever visited. Walking through the area feels almost surreal—the tilted cubes, sharp angles, and bright yellow panels create a playful, futuristic atmosphere. The show house offers a fascinating look at how people actually live in these unconventional spaces, and the views from inside are surprisingly charming. Whether you’re into architecture or just love exploring memorable landmarks, the Cube Houses are absolutely worth a visit.

Stunning architecture and a great place to play with your camera. New interesting perspectives and ankles every view steps and nice peaceful green yards. Pls keep in mind that ppl are actually living here so be respectful. No need to go inside the cubes (but if you can stay a night in the hostel and with some lucky you get a view over the rooftop)

For just 3€ you can tour one of these iconic architectural wonders. It’s very interesting to see how the rooms are set up with the unusual angles, but the stairs are narrow and steep if you have a hard time with stairs. Highly recommend if you love architecture.

I had a couple of hours layover in Rotterdam so went to check out the cube houses. They are truly uniquebabd it was interesting to see how the architect has integrated storage. Population density in the Netherlands is a constant discussion but once you visit this you realize why they never made any more. Beautiful from the outside, interesting conceptually but definitely ultimate a case of form over function.

The Maritime Museum in Rotterdam offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's maritime heritage. Visitors can explore vintage ships, historic port models, and interactive exhibits for kids. The museum showcases paintings of famous sea battles, collections of ships, and informative videos about naval history. It also features recreated boat interiors from different time periods, including karaoke rooms, casinos, and vintage bars. In addition to its permanent collections on shipbuilding and sea legends, the museum hosts temporary exhibits on various maritime topics.
Fantastic spot for families in Rotterdam! This isn’t your typical museum, it’s an interactive experience full of hands-on fun. The offshore platform is packed with engaging exhibits for both kids and adults, and the maritime history displays are really well done. Outside, you can even explore real historic ships. There’s also a cozy café and a gift shop with great souvenirs. Perfect mix of fun and learning – definitely worth more than a quick visit!

The museum is the oldest of its kind in the Netherlands and one of the most important maritime museums in Europe. Founded in 1874 on the initiative of Admiral Lodewijk Pincoffs, it explores navigation, shipbuilding, trade, port history, and life at sea. The museum is especially family-friendly, with many interactive exhibitions. Outside, the harbour in Leuvehaven lets visitors step aboard historic vessels, cranes, and even a lighthouse, bringing Rotterdam’s seafaring past vividly to life.

Great for kids 6 yr plus according to me, so they read and understand what they are seeing, connectivity is great near tram station. Outside boats dont need tickets. Pl book kids section in advance as its crowd controlled which is good ( never overcrowded) we spent 3-4 hours including a kids boat ride outside, where they give 3 euro discount if you have just been to the museum. Off shore experience is great, with interactive videos n games and pick a lanyard. Kids section RFID bands are kept free inside. Feel free to pick one and play the games, videos. There are snacks up on the top deck.

Miniworld Rotterdam is a captivating attraction housed in a spacious warehouse, spanning over 535 square meters. It features an intricate miniature model of Rotterdam, complete with day and night simulations. The exhibit showcases famous landmarks and attractions of the Netherlands on a small scale, including a detailed replica of the Rotterdam Port and Water Port. Visitors can marvel at the 2.
My kids age 4 and 8 loved it. I like that you can use the ticket for 99 days (I believe even 1 year if you buy something extra for 4.5€). I like that they added paw patrol and pokemon figures around the place for children to find. We will come back

I enjoyed it here. The building itself looks a little tired and dated, but there are lots of detailed models, mostly of places around Rotterdam. They also have a new section downstairs, with models of places in the UK. It was a work in progress (in February 2025) but it's good to see that they are still adding new attractions. There is a restaurant (although I didn't eat there), as well as a gift shop, which sells a wide range of products, such as models, trains etc. Overall, a good experience and worth visiting if you're in Rotterdam.
Tintin — Google review
The miniatures were cool to look at. We had fun spotting the Pokémons and interacting with the displays via the buttons you can press to make things move. However, the place needs a bit of updating, like the paint on the walls, the ceilings, and the floor. They're still building the rest of the UK miniatures. The staff in the reception was nice and efficient, but not very friendly or talkative, but it's fine. We went on a hot weekend and the place inside felt cool so that's nice! It was also not too crowded.

There's also a UK exhibition on in the basement with great castles and mountain towns. The whole place feels really cozy and family friendly, there's also a small gift-shop and restaurant. The person at the front desk was really nice and welcoming, giving some explanation on where to go and what to see. If you like miniatures, don't miss out!

The interior of the building felt a bit old and the lady in the front just needed to scan my ticket to let me in but took quite a while before she actually got me in because she was busy with a phone call (someone seemed to be making an appointment for a big group) but I waited probably 10 to 15 minutes before being helped. I think that is room for improvement but it was just one employee. The actual displays themselves are something to behold, it really brought back my inner child and there are plenty of interactive displays. In addition to all of this, they have the lights go out periodically to simulate night and day. I highly recommend this even though I had a bit of an inconvenience in the beginning.

City Hall
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
The City Hall Rotterdam is a neo-renaissance building from 1914, which escaped the World War II bombings. The building was designed by Henri Evers to accommodate the spaces which the previous council hall could not. As a prominent historical landmark and symbol of Dutch survival during World War II, the city hall is an excellent place to visit in Rotterdam for 30 minutes or less.
What a magnificent building this city hall is! It's worth a visit simply to admire the architecture. The entrance on the left of the building, opposite the police station, is for civil registry. When you want to take photographs please ask the guard (s) for permission and make sure your photos are devoid of people.

A Rare Survivor with a Story to Tell Rotterdam is known for its modern architecture, but the Stadhuis (City Hall) is one of the few historic buildings that survived the 1940 bombing — and it shows. With its ornate sandstone facade, arched windows, and beautiful courtyard, it stands proudly on the Coolsingel as a reminder of the city’s pre-war identity. Built between 1914 and 1920, the building mixes Renaissance and Beaux-Arts influences, and is filled with symbolic details — lions, angels, and crests representing peace, justice, and resilience. You can admire it from outside, or if you're lucky enough to catch it open for a public event or guided tour, the interior is just as impressive. As TourGuys, we often stop here during our city tours. It’s not just a photo opportunity — it’s a place where we share stories about the destruction and rebuilding of Rotterdam, and how this one building managed to remain standing while nearly everything around it was flattened. Tip: Walk around the side to discover the peaceful inner courtyard — a quiet little gem in the middle of the city. The Stadhuis isn’t just beautiful — it’s symbolic, resilient, and essential to understanding Rotterdam’s past.

The Stadhuis (City Hall) of Rotterdam is a magnificent example of early 20th-century architecture, completed in 1920. It is one of the few buildings in the city center that survived the bombings of World War II. The interior is equally impressive, featuring grand murals, elegant marble details, and intricate woodwork. The murals within the Stadhuis are captivating, depicting scenes of historical and cultural significance, adding to the grandeur of the hall. The marble fireplace, with its ornate gold accents and classic design, stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. Visitors to the Stadhuis are often struck by the building’s stately presence and the sense of history it embodies. It is not only a functioning government building but also a monument that reflects the resilience and spirit of Rotterdam. Whether you're interested in architecture, history, or simply looking for a beautiful place to visit, the Stadhuis of Rotterdam offers a unique and enriching experience.

Best sushi in town! Love love love the fresh wasabi, the freshness of the fish/meat and the presentation. Unfortunately, the hot main course is very disappointing. It is a stark contrast to the sushi arrangement. We felt like we were in a cheap pub somewhere in the rural England. The steak was served with toasted bread while our risotto and fish was served with risotto placed in a separate bowl and the fish was arranged weirdly. It is definitely not at the standard and quality we expect from this type of restaurant. Please do come here for sushi and skip the main course all together.

Came here for an afternoon drink which turned into an evening of drinks and nibbles. The place is very well decorated with very modern and comfortable seating areas. The service is very tentative and fast. The drinks menu is extensive with a big selection of wines and other drinks. The food selection is good for either smaller nibbles or larger meals. Overall a very nice spot to come to for a drink, food or both! Definitely recommend. Side note: I used to come to this place before when it was called B.E.D many years ago and the playlist that is on when there isn’t any live music is pretty much the same from those years (2010s). So if you want some nostalgia in an updated venue, definitely worth a visit.

We had a great time at this restaurant. The food was really tasty—we tried a variety of tapas, and each dish was full of flavor and well-prepared. The drinks were also very good; I had a fresh lemonade that was especially refreshing. However, the bathroom was a different story.

Service was great and the selection of beer was one of the best in Rotterdam. For a beer place (it's in their name) they served the beers in the wrong glasses though. And the food was lacking much taste. I had the burger (looked like one for McDonald's) and my wife had the Empanadas. Great atmosphere on the street Cafe. Probably will go back just for drinks.

It gives what it promises! Great selection of beers, cute bar, nice location. I am only giving a 4star because it is not in the low range of prices (not very cheap), but I still recommend it!

For me, Rotterdam is such an inspiring city. You have to look really hard to find a place that doens't look awesome. After a long day wonder and wandering through the streets, we felt a bit thirsty. That's why we decided to have another drink over here. Liked the interior a lot! Friendly staff as well.

Nestled in the vibrant Kruiskade area of Rotterdam, TIWYA is not your typical dining destination; it’s a stylish fusion of restaurant and nightclub. This chic venue specializes in Indonesian cuisine, featuring mouthwatering dishes like daging rendang and lemper ayam, alongside sushi options for those seeking variety. The atmosphere is enhanced by exotic plants and an inviting cocktail bar, all crafted by skilled chefs dedicated to authentic family recipes.
Food was good.. for me the team really made the difference. From beginning to end they gave the attention even the restaurant was full. The cocktails were amazing

Horrible experience. If I could give 0 stars, I would. I’m so embarrassed that I recommended this place to my friends to celebrate a birthday. The food was expensive, disappointing, we have got a variation of the same thing/taste. The service was mediocre and worst of all, they charged us twice. A friend of us left earlier than the rest, she paid the bill and later on, when we were leaving they charged us again the same amount. We only realized later that we paid 600 euro for tasteless food, mediocre service and overrated dessert. I do NOT recommend.

My girlfriend and I asked for a romantic spot in the restaurant. We were not disappointed as the restaurant has a very unique interior and atmosphere. The food was delicious, and we even got some from the house! Don't expect a cheap bite, instead expect a comfortable full belly.

The quality of food was not the best and the price was high, portions was small compare to the price And they trouw the food on my coat, on side of my coat was full of sauce and they offer me to give me 20 euro for laundry or when I give my coat to laundry I send a receipt to them ,…. The name of the manager is Sylvia and after 3times sending email to her she responds and she said I need to bring the original receipt to her and she will not pay me like this by email , I was very disappointed and unsatisfied with them because of very bad customer service I will never go again

The drinks were delicious, but unfortunately we waited on our food/ drinks for almost 2 hours long. Regardless of our reservations. Large groups came in after and got served before us. The food wasn’t very warm, which gave the impression that it was there for a while. We were told the printer had malfunctioned, but that doesn’t explain how groups that came in hours after us got served in such short waiting time.

We waited 1 hour and more to have the food. A bit expensive for what it is, but it was good with lots of flavours. The drinks are also nice. Great music, perhaps too loud for the ones eating. It is best to get drinks and some bites instead.

The expectations were really high but it was not that good. The food was not good and the service was nice but not good. It was really chaotic on the table and we missed plates and glasses. We were with 5 and they gave us everythint for 4 people. The table was really messy with dirty plates and rice on the taboe and we already got the dessert. It’s really overprices because we payed €100 p.p. but all it was was fried food which really costs nothing. In the end we complaind about it but they didnt do anything besides defending theirselves. Will never come back to this place!!

Not the best bar for an evening, after this experience. First, we were stressed by the waitress that we should hurry to make up our decision about what we drink, as the bar closes in an hour? Then we had to wait 30 minutes for our 5 cocktails, although there were almost no people in the bar. The waitress was also not very friendly with us overall. Not recommended!

Located in the heart of Rotterdam on the Oude Binnenweg, The Rumah is a cocktail bar with a unique concept. The name, which means "house" in Indonesian and incorporates the word "rum," reflects owner Daryl's passion for working with rum. Together with award-winning bartender Edward, they have created a cozy yet stylish space that combines elements of an old-fashioned pub and a modern cocktail bar.
A work of art. I love when bartenders are truly passionate about their craft. The menu and theme are timeless. Every drink is explained by the bartender upon presentation. I am not a rum fan, but I highly recommend trying this cocktail room out. I will be back! The pink drink is "Booby Trap," and the other is "This is America." Update one week later: We came back! This time featuring "Pinga" and "Devil in Disguise." Our waiter was kind enough to ask if we enjoyed a more savory/olive flavored drink because our first choice would have been Fragata. He said if you wanted something sweeter, then this likely wasn't the best choice, which swayed our selection. Maybe next time, but I appreciated the heads up.

A really nice rum cocktail bar. Small place with great cocktails. The staff explains the drinks once you are seated so that you make a more informed decision, they also make recommendations based on your preferences. The drinks (€14) match their flavor descriptions in the menu. Depending on how busy it is, the servers may rush the explanations.

Rumah is a true gem for cocktail lovers in Rotterdam. Their signature drinks are creative, balanced, and full of surprises—definitely not your typical cocktails, but elevated, artful creations. The staff are warm and friendly, taking the time to explain each drink’s story and ingredients, which makes the experience even more special. A perfect spot for anyone looking to explore unique flavors in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Cocktail bar
Mavis is a vibrant cocktail bar situated in the Scheepvaartkwartier neighborhood of Rotterdam, paying homage to soul singer Mavis Staples. It is the younger sibling of the well-known Jazz venue BIRD. The area has transformed from its past reputation and is now filled with trendy spots. Mavis offers live performances alongside delectable cocktails and dishes, creating an inviting atmosphere that captures the warmth and rawness of the 1930s.
Had a blast here! The cocktails were boozy and not the watered down swill you find in so many other places. The karaoke basement was fun! It's a cozy place, equally nice just to hang out around the bar. I didn't eat anything so can't comment on that.

Museum
The Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen is a striking addition to Rotterdam's skyline, resembling a giant mirror-clad bowl. It serves as an art storage facility for the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen and offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore its 151,000-strong collection, including works by renowned artists such as Monet, Rembrandt, Mondriaan, and Warhol.
Worth visiting just for the building’s architecture- but inside and out. Don’t miss the rooftop terrace for amazing views over the city. The bar remains open after the museum closes, so if you are short of time you can visit the Terrance after your museum visit The exhibits challenge visitors on how they interpret art. I enjoyed seeing how the exhibits are stored and loved the exhibit on the challenge of storing the glass pieces

Way more than a museum. Please see the pics and videos. You might not be lucky enough to catch the open day, but it is worth paying €20! It is mentioned that there are more than 100K items.

The depot is the world’s first publicly accessible art storage facility, a cultural icon where visitors can explore behind the scenes of a vast collection. Opened in 2021 and designed by Dutch architecture firm MVRDV, it was created while the main Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum undergoes renovation, housing more than 150,000 works. Its mirrored, bowl-shaped building has become a Rotterdam landmark, topped with a rooftop garden offering panoramic city views. By opening what is traditionally a closed space, the depot has introduced an innovative model that has inspired museums worldwide.

The Depot is an interesting look at some of the behind the scenes of museums. It is not a full museum (the museum is currentlyclosed), rather its that some pieces are on display while some storage rooms let you see how everything is stored (in their boxes/crates) and some areas allow looks into conservation and restoration.

Weird exhibit, as you can only experience the rooms for 10 minutes, which is not enough. So not great as a gallery, but the view and rooftop restaurant is fantastic, so ot makes up for not fully being emersed in art.
Magriet J — Google review
Transforming a storage warehouse and conservation facility into an architectural masterpiece and cultural destination is pure genius. To top it off, the rooftop garden terrace offers breathtaking 360-degree views of Rotterdam, complete with a stylish café that invites you to linger. With its visually striking and utterly unique design, the building sparks curiosity—even if you’re not an architect or art enthusiast. While the entry fee isn’t cheap, it’s well worth the experience. Every detail, down to the beautifully transparent lockers, has been thoughtfully designed. Surprisingly, the art itself almost feels secondary—though the collection includes stunning works by Picasso, Munch, Cézanne, Rembrandt, Bruegel, Gauguin, Monet, and numerous modern sculptures and contemporary pieces. The display method is equally impressive, borrowing inspiration from São Paulo’s MASP, with paintings elegantly suspended on crystal easels. This is an absolute must-visit in Rotterdam.

Event venue
Cruise Terminal Rotterdam is an events venue located in an industrial building with waterfront views, making it a popular choice for parties and corporate events. The terminal itself boasts modern amenities such as sheltered gangways, free WiFi, and accessible toilets. It is conveniently situated near interesting architecture and eateries, with easy access to the heart of Rotterdam either on foot or by tram. Despite its clean and modern appearance, some visitors note that additional security measures may be beneficial given its capacity to accommodate large cruise ships.
Very efficient cruise ship terminal a short walk over the bridge into the city centre. Security done in the terminal so quicker than doing it on the ship. Tourist information was available on our arrival. Toilets are available. Glass structure so very light and airy. A short walk from the metro station with direct service to centre, central station and The Hague.

This cruise terminal was the best I've ever been to. The embarkation and debarkation were absolutely wonderful experiences. Everything went super smoothly. I would happily cruise out of this port again in the future. I love that it's a small port and seems to only have 1 ship at a time. That makes all the difference in the world! Highly recommend this port!
Lori A — Google review
The Rotterdam Cruise Terminal, located on the Wilhelmina Pier in the heart of Rotterdam, Netherlands, is a historic and well-equipped embarkation and disembarkation point for cruise travelers. Originally serving as the arrival and departure point for the Holland America Line in the early 20th century, the terminal has been beautifully maintained, blending its historical charm with modern functionality. One of the standout features of this terminal is its spacious and clean layout. The large glass windows offer stunning views of the iconic Erasmus Bridge and the Maas River, adding a picturesque welcome or farewell to every voyage. Inside, passengers will find efficient check-in counters, helpful staff, and clear signage that makes navigation smooth and stress-free. Accessibility is a strong point at the Rotterdam Cruise Terminal. It’s easily reachable by tram, metro, taxi, or even by foot from various parts of the city. The terminal’s proximity to central Rotterdam is a major plus, allowing passengers to explore local attractions, museums, and restaurants within minutes. There’s even a trendy café and event space inside the terminal building, which gives it a lively, contemporary feel. Despite its relatively modest size compared to terminals in larger cruise ports, operations here are well-organized and rarely feel overcrowded. Embarkation and disembarkation processes are usually quick and efficient, thanks to good coordination between the port authorities and cruise lines. The only minor drawback could be the limited seating inside, especially during peak hours. However, the overall atmosphere and efficiency easily make up for it. In summary, the Rotterdam Cruise Terminal is a delightful starting or ending point for any cruise journey. Its mix of history, accessibility, scenic views, and modern service make it a favorite among travelers sailing through Northern Europe.

We saw this from near the Erasmusbrug. I wanted to see if I could figure out where it was in case we needed to come the next day to board our ship (in case of issues with the shuttle transfer). I liked the futuristic oval shape on top of the building and the unusual design this sort of created.

Bar
Paddy Murphy's Irish Pub is a unique spot in Rotterdam, offering an authentic Irish ambiance despite its unassuming exterior. It's the only Irish pub in the city and has become a popular gathering place for both expats and locals. The pub boasts a wide selection of Irish beers, whiskies, and classic pub food. Visitors can expect a cozy atmosphere with occasional live performances and sports events.
In terms of recreating what feels like a genuine Irish pub atmosphere, Paddy Murphy’s is as good as I’ve seen outside Ireland. The decor and layout of the place is a lot more like an actual Irish pub than 99% of Irish pubs I’ve been to outside of Ireland. I was served by a few different members of staff, and other than one exception, my pint of stout was poured perfectly every time. That standard of service is hard to come by. The live music we saw there was absolutely brilliant, great band.

Irish bar that promotes itself as a Sports bar. Enter at 4pm and there’s no issue wearing Arsenal or England shirts. Yet you come in after a Feyenoord game (a home team for that matter) and you’re are told to take off any shirt or scarf associated. A place to avoid and not worth your time. It’s not a sports bar, regardless of what they protest.

Tikis, a vibrant Hawaiian-inspired surf bar nestled in the heart of Rotterdam, is not your average cocktail spot. Since 2006, it has been a haven for those seeking an alternative vibe with its eclectic mix of music and laid-back atmosphere. The decor exudes a charming kitschiness that perfectly complements the funky tropical cocktails on offer. With prices that won't break the bank—think around €7.
Came here with my uncle who is a huge Tiki Bar fan. He absolutely loved the decoration and theme of the bar, he said it was one of the better tiki bars he’s been to. For drinks we ordered the Mai Tai (Cuban Rum, Gold Rum, Bermuda Rum, Cointreau, Lime, Orgeat) and the Jamaican Pornstar (Jamaican Rum, Licor 43, Passion Fruit, Orange, Lime, Foamer). Both drinks were really nice, cool little spot in the area!

Amazing cocktailbar, really enjoyed it and the Zombie cocktail was very nice, it tastes like a regular juice drink with a little alcohol taste after instead of an extremely awful alcohol taste after. The other cocktails are amazing as well and you could call them artisan work. The banana daiquiri is made with fresh bananas and the cola that gets left after making a Long Island Iced Tea gets served next to it. I highly recommend this bar.

This gastrobar has a crazy view on Rotterdam skyline and this made us fall in love with the place. We booked a table on the website and so we could sit in the terrace and that set a very good vibe for us. Anyway, even with the reservation we had to wait inside for almost 20 minutes to be able to have a table outside. As for the drinks, they are good; the service is okay but not too professional. In general the bar has a very unique style. I reccomand this place for a fun and unique night with a fantastic view on Rotterdam skyline!

We only waited a few minutes before being seated, ordered immediately and our food was out in less than 20 minutes. The music, drinks and vibes were also excellent! During closing time Alexia helped us and made sure to let us know ahead of time that it’s the last round and didn’t rush us. I will definitely be coming back here!

Pretty good food, amazing cocktails and a really impressive service. Me and my partner went there to celebrate our anniversary and were gifted a card with a handwritten wishes from the elvy team and a very nice dessert - it was a very nice touch. View from the terrace is truly incredible, but interior inside is lovely as well. Good place for a date since music is not too loud, so you can actually hear each other during conversation lol (which is somehow pretty rare for bars, restaurants, etc.) Especially would love to point out the service: everyone is very friendly, smiley and welcoming. Our server (Sofia) was absolutely lovely, advised a great cocktail and helped us to have a very pleasant experience. Overall 10/10.

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE. Ignore the low overall rating; must-visit venue in Rotterdam for a cocktail or dining! Found via search for "high rise" or "rooftop" dining. We were two couples on our last night in Rotterdam -- a Saturday -- with no online reservations available. Easy subway access a block away. Very kind hostess welcomed us around 7pm and led us to a table right away saying availability was just for an hour; although, we stayed longer and there were plenty of open tables. The outdoor terrace was closed but the views were still amazing. Menu features tapas-type small plates that were quite delicious. Atmosphere was kind of upscale chic with fun lighting and a DJ, but music wasn't excessively loud prevening table conversation. Complements to the staff for one of our best nights in the city!

The outdoor terrace is small but the views of the Erasmusbrug and the river are spectacular. I always take my friends here when they visit me in Rotterdam. The ambience of the indoor seating space is nice as well. Servers are friendly and do their best to get you your order as promptly as possible even though the bar does tend to be busy.

Portions are way too small! However, the sliders, fish tacos, and nachos were very tasty! It’s a nice hangout spot as well.

Night club
Nestled in the vibrant Maashaven area of Rotterdam, Now&Wow Club stands as a beacon of the city's lively nightlife and rich cultural tapestry. This legendary venue has been captivating party-goers since its inception in the 90s, offering an eclectic mix of music across multiple floors, each boasting its own distinct decor and ambiance. Whether you're drawn to pulsating electronic beats or more laid-back vibes, there's something for everyone at this ultra-desirable dance and relax club.
Great venue for techno events. The atmosphere is always wild especially since there are stairs to access an upper section in the club. I went to see Shlomo all night long and thought the visuals and lighting were extraordinary. The only thing a bit annoying is a narrow stage, which means it’s hard to access the front section. Otherwise it’s good.

Previously, you paid just € 0.50 for the cloakroom. Now it’s suddenly € 10 for a locker – that’s outrageous. I paid already € 39,50 for a ticket. On top of that, I bought 6 tokens from the machine at € 3.80 each, but only received 5. When I asked the staff for help, I was sent from one person to another without any solution. The service is terrible, and the prices in the bar are ridiculously high. Please improve your hospitality.

The atmosphere is amazing I like this kind of building! Especially the carnival party is 👍🏼. The Toilets are free and in good conditions and I like the organization. The prices for nonalcoholic drinks are too high and also 5€ for a mini locker is to much. Nice to spend one night there 🍾🎊

This venue has potential, but the customer experience was awful. It felt like they were trying to squeeze money out of you at every chance—you have to exchange cash for coins, making it hard to track spending. Toilets aren’t free (!), water is overpriced with no refill options, and bouncers even take your bottles. The DJ was good, but the vibe of the club ruined it. I was glad to leave

It’s a cool venue, but the party they advertised as having 3 stages had only one, the toilets were THREE POINT FIVE EURO, and the system of tokens for drinks (3.80 per token, with a vodka redbull being 3.5 tokens [no, you cannot purchase half-tokens or single tokens, only pairs] totaling THIRTEEN THIRTY) is a blatant attempt to scam drunk people who won’t do the math. Also, want a smoke break or just some air? Prepare to climb down twenty flights of stairs - the lifts are only for the people entering the club! Hope you wore comfortable shoes for the dangerous, dimly-lit staircase!

The atmosphere and overall experience were great, but during this event, there were just too many people.
Steffi H — Google review
Okay place for party. Some things annoyed us a littlebit thought. No cloakroom, only small lockers which can fit 2-3 jackets but no backpacks. Price for one locker was 5€. Tokens needed to buy drinks, you can get them from a machine by your credit card. 3 tokens was 10.5€. one beer was 1 token and soft drink as well. I liked the interior with old factory vibes tho, machines and pipes and all were still visible. Nice view also from the windows of the dancefloor.
Leo L — Google review
It was WAY too overcrowded. People were literally collapsing. It was a close call that no one died. When someone was lying on the ground and convulsing, we tried to get help at the bar, but they just didn’t care. Only at the next bar, after some persuasion, did they finally step in. The person on the ground almost died… that’s unacceptable. And you even have to pay to use the toilet… but that’s probably the least of the problems.

Apartment complex
Timmerhuis, designed by OMA, is a remarkable architectural marvel located in the Stadsdriehoek area of Rotterdam. This innovative structure seamlessly blends post-WWII reconstruction design with contemporary architecture, earning it the nickname "the cloud of glass and steel." The building stands out as a testament to OMA's pioneering approach to reimagining traditional spatial functions.
It’s a building with offices, and the atmosphere inside truly impressed me. The blend of old and new architectural designs is captivating. Moreover, there are a few small businesses where you can grab some delicious snacks. Highly recommended!

Special building in the very heart of Rotterdam. Worth walking by to take a look, also have a look inside.

I totally recommend it! I discovered in here the traditional Surinamese food and it was very tasty. At the same time, the service was very friendly.
Jesus P — Google review
One of the new hotspots (juli-2016), very hip and designed by a well know architecture. The building illustrates how old and new can function together.
