Rotterdam Travel Guide - Netherlands Joyful Times
Rotterdam Travel Guide - Netherlands Joyful Times
Rotterdam is a municipality and city in the Dutch province of South-Holland, situated in the west of The Netherlands and part of the Randstad. The municipality is the second largest in the country (behind Amsterdam), with a population of approximately 601,300 people and over 2.9 million inhabitants in its metropolitan area (combined with The Hague).
The port of Rotterdam is the largest in Europe. From 1962 to 2004, it was the world's busiest port; then it was superseded by Shanghai. Now Rotterdam is the fourth biggest port in the world. Rotterdam is known as a city of architecture. A few square kilometres of the city centre offers a complete overview of what the twentieth century has produced in terms of modern architecture. Due to this more modern atmosphere and the presence of several relatively high buildings (for Dutch standards), the city is especially interesting for Dutch people to visit.
The atmosphere of Rotterdam is absolutely distinct from other Dutch cities. The mentality can best be described as 'can do'. From the waiters you meet to the businessmen and the people who have just arrived as migrants, all of them breathe a dynamic optimism of getting forward with things and their town. The modern looks of the city, the bustle and its building spree all add to this impression. That said, you might also find that people are sometimes somewhat too straight with you. And yes, the city is not the cosiest, or the most picturesque of towns, especially on drab winter days. But; get acquainted with this small metropolis, easiest done on days of one of the festivals with nice weather, and you will come to love it.
Like any city in The Netherlands, Rotterdam is very, very bicycle-friendly. Getting around by bike is probably the fastest way of travel within the city. There are separate bike lanes on most major streets and there are separate traffic lights for bicyclists. Avoid getting your tire in the tram rails. Always cross tram rails at an angle. Always lock your bike securely when leaving it, preferably chained to a fixed object.
There are five metro lines operated by RET. Lines A (green), B (yellow) and C (red), share tracks between Schiedam Centrum and Capelsebrug and offer an east-west connection. Lines D (light blue) and E (blue, also known as RandstadRail) share tracks between Rotterdam Centraal and Slinge and offer a north-south connection. Interchange between all lines is possible on Beurs station in the city center.
The area around metrostation Blaak, called Oude haven (Old Harbour), is not only worth seeing but has also a lot of pubs and restaurants. The Rotterdam dining scene is developing very fast with new restaurants opening very often. While most of the attention focusses on new Michelin-star aspiring places, there is very much a trend towards high quality mid-range restaurants offering French/Dutch cuisine.
Innovation here takes many forms, and one that is immediately apparent is the quality of the coffee served in the city's huge array of cafes. Until recently, there was only one coffee roastery in Rotterdam – the excellent Man Met Brill – but at last count there were 12, all roasting direct-trade beans to caffeinate coffee-obsessed locals. Cafes of every type (hipster hole-in-the-walls to traditional grand cafes) dot the city streets, functioning as work and study spaces for the digital generation as well as places where friends and family catch up over a drink or casual meal.

Languit Duizelen in het Vroesenpark in Rotterdam
Lekker languit in het gras met een ijsje of een biertje, dat is een favoriete bezigheid van veel Duizelbezoekers. Drie dagen lang kregen ze de kans, tijdens de negende editie van Duizel in het Rotterdamse Vroesenpark.Wie rust zocht, kon terecht in het bos achter het park waar hier en daar een kunstwerk te zien, of een gedicht te lezen was. Wie de liefde zocht, kwam dit jaar met een beetje mazzel ook aan zijn trekken: bij 'Tinderen door Kinderen'. Bij die versie van de beroemde date-app werden kids erop uitgestuurd om de juiste match te vinden voor een kandidaat."Kinderen kijken heel anders naar volwassenen dan zij zelf doen", zegt bedenker Rianne van Dijk. "De kinderen maken een profiel van een kandidaat, en gaan vervolgens op zoek naar een match. Het levert vaak grappige ontmoetingen op." Duizel in het Park wordt zondagavond afgesloten met optredens van blues- en soulzanger Mitch Rivers en de indieband Waltzburg.

The Park is the most famous park of Rotterdam, located west of the center. The Park is located between the Nieuwe Maas, the Parkhaven, Westzeedijk and Scheepvaartkwartier. Along the park's Parkkade. The Park has no official name, but is known as The Park, possibly explained as The Park at the Euromast, or at the Maas Tunnel Park in West.Het area which is now the Park, in secret, purchased in 1851 by the City of Rotterdam with the intention here to establish a slaughterhouse. Following objections from Delfshaven against (the courtyard was on the territory of Delfshaven and this was not part of Rotterdam) and at the request of the council, the municipality of Rotterdam decided in 1852 here public walk to table.
The Park is located along the Meuse south of Westzeedijk. The Park is as a whole, but actually consists of two parts. That's because it was built on the site of the former two places outside layers. The eastern half, which is now Park View, the country estate of J. Valckenier was and was built between 1852 and 1863 to a design by the firm Zocher. The western part, where country seat was Hill, was until 1866 owned by JA Nottebohm and was added around 1886 with some modifications in the Park. The border between the two estates was where now Rhododendron Allee lies.In 1853, the then mayor Hoffmann suggested to the board for the walk to give it the name The Park.

Eating insects at Rotterdam Asian food event
[Link to our blog post (including 30 pictures) about this food event:
Giving a complete impression of this 'Op z'n Rotterdams' (The Rotterdam Way) event would be an impossible task. So we decided to restrict ourselves to a cultural food experience at the Grotekerkplein. This cozy square, situated in front of the Laurenskerk, was renamed ‘Asia along the Meuse’ for this weekend.

Rotterdam e Anversa
In questo video troverai informazioni su Rotterdam (Olanda) e Anversa (Belgio). Ho scelto di visitare la città di Rotterdam perché da Amsterdam, dovevamo tornare in Belgio e precisamente a Brussels.
Poiché il viaggio che ho fatto prevedeva che i primi tre giorni li trascorressi in olanda e gli ultimi tre in Belgio, e poiché in macchina da Amsterdam a Brussels sono circa 2 ore e mezza di strada, io ed il mio amico abbiamo optato per una tappa intermedia, ovvero visitare la città di Rotterdam.
Parliamo di Rotterdam. Conosciuta come la città che ha il porto più grande d'Europa, mi ha stupito tantissimo. Il centro richiama molto lo stile di New York con i grattacieli e lo stile moderno.
Devo dire che sono davvero rimasto affascinato di questa città che non immaginavo nemmeno di visitare nella mia vita. Posso affermare che anche questa, insieme a quelle in cui ho visto la vera Olanda, sia stata la miglior tappa del viaggio.
Ovviamente di Rotterdam ho visitato soltanto il centro della città. Ma vi consiglio vivamente di visitarla..
Dopo ci siamo spostati ad Anversa e qui posso affermare che la città non mi è assolumente piaciuta. Molto sporca anche al centro. Troppa confusione.
Questo video è utile se stai progettando un viaggio in olanda e sopratutto nella città di Rotterdam oppure se stai progettando un viaggio in Belgio e vuoi vedere la città di Anversa.
