Address:
Lijnbaan, 3012 Rotterdam, The Netherlands

The Lijnbaan is the main shopping street of Rotterdam. It was opened in 1953, as the main pedestrian street in the new shopping district, after the old shopping district was completely destroyed during the bombing of Rotterdam by the German Luftwaffe.

There are plans to redevelop the street as part of bigger redevelopments of the shopping district. The Beurstraverse is an example of these redevelopments.
