Witte de Withstraat Rotterdam - The Netherlands
The Witte de Withkwartier is the vibrant heart of the Rotterdam art scene and is known for its dynamic nightlife. Sometimes referred to as Rotterdam’s ‘Axis of Art’, the Witte de Withstraat runs from Museumpark to the Maritime Museum and is lined in various cultural institutions.
Browse the art on display at TENT or Witte de With, catch a show at the Witte de With Theatre, or immerse yourself in avant-garde film and music in WORM. While galleries, cultural institutes and fashion boutiques are open all day, the focus shifts to cafés and restaurants in the evening. Grand café NRC (which stands for Nieuw Rotterdams Café) is a great place to start your evening with a plate of spaghetti or fish&chips. Prefer a juicy hamburger? Join the patrons at Ter Marsch. The most famous pub in the street is De Witte Aap, an institution in the city’s nightlife for ages; Lonely Planet even nominated it as the best bar in the world! More recent arrivals to the bar scene, like Ballroom and La Bru, are popular with the young and trendy crowd. The gin and tonics sell like hotcakes across the meticulously hip designer counters. Hoping to rub shoulders with local artists and authors? Head over to De Schouw, a classic café that’s quickly packed on good nights.

STORY: WITTE DE WITHSTRAAT
De Witte de Withstraat in Rotterdam is niet altijd het culturele straatje geweest zoals we die nu kennen. Het is een straat met een lange historie met pieken en dalen. Twee bewoners van de wijk Cool zijn al sinds jaar en dag actief in hun wijk om de kwaliteit van de straat naar een next level te tillen. Ze nemen je mee door de Witte de With en vertellen over andere tijden en hoe de straat is geworden hoe die nu is.

'Witte de Withstraat heet zo omdat er veel witte mensen lopen'
Hoe vaak sta jij eigenlijk stil bij waar straatnamen vandaan komen? D66-raadslid Nadia Arsieni pleit al langer voor aanvullende bordjes in Rotterdam die uitleg geven over de herkomst van straatnamen. Waarom heet de Lijnbaan eigenlijk de Lijnbaan? En wie is nou toch Witte de With?Op de Witte de Withstraat peilden wij de kennis van een aantal Rotterdammers. "Ik heb eigenlijk geen idee. Was het een schilder?", vraagt een meisje zich hardop af."Ik zou het echt niet weten.", is toch echt het meest gegeven antwoord van de dag. Een enkeling kon de vraag goed beantwoorden. "Iets met de VOC-tijden", zegt een jongen die zichtbaar hard aan het nadenken is. "Deze straat is vernoemd naar een zeeman."Het gros van de ondervraagden ziet bordjes met uitleg over de herkomst wel zitten. "Het verrijkt je kennis", laat een jongen weten. Twee vrienden sluiten zich hier helemaal bij aan. "Het is een goed idee. Er zijn veel namen die wij niet kennen."
Rotterdam, Netherlands, Shopping Streets
One of the great things about visiting Rotterdam in the Netherlands is the vast pedestrian zone in the center. There are several major streets that function like a big outdoor shopping mall that you would love to explore, along with some quaint side lanes that will entice you to have a look.
And now we're going to enjoy a detailed visit to the vibrant center of downtown Rotterdam, especially the Lijnbaan, the most famous of all the pedestrian malls. The map shows the city center and our routing, including several side malls that branch off from the main street.
Lijnbaan was the first time in Europe that an automobile street was converted to exclusive use by pedestrians, making it Europe's first modern pedestrian shopping street.
It opened in 1953 after the devastation of World War II. By now this pedestrian concept has been copied by nearly every city and town in Europe and in many places throughout the world.
The stores are integrated so well with the street that it functions almost more like a standard shopping mall than a pedestrian lane, enjoying the advantages of both styles.
You'll want to get off the main lane now and then for added shops and cafés.
One of the side malls branching off here is Stadhuisplein facing the old City Hall, which we're going to visit later in the program -- a wonderful outdoor plaza with lots of dining facilities out on the terrace, very popular spot.
Shopping malls did not even exist yet in 1953, so this was really some visionary planning. The famous American shopping mall developer Victor Gruen visited here back in 1953 and was disappointed that this had opened already before his own first shopping mall ever opened.
Extending across from Stadhuisplein is another one-block-long mall, Korte Lijnbaan with more famous shops and places to eat. It's worth a little stroll to enjoy both of these side malls.
Continuing on a few blocks further south on Lijnbaan, we get to another really lovely side mall called Beurstraverse.
First crossing a rather busy intersection with lots of pedestrians and trams. There are still no cars allowed down here, but you've got these trams on steel rail at street level going by. It's a safe mix with the alert pedestrians.
From here we can look down into this lovely shopping mall called Beurstraverse. It's really something quite different. We have a split-level street scene with shops up above and shops down below, with some benches and tables out in the plaza.
It's a brilliant design because this encourages people to shop on two levels instead of just one, which is often a challenge on a normal shopping street. People just stay on the one main level on the shopping street.
Of course in a shopping mall it's always multilevel and you've got escalators and nice stairways, and that's what we find here. It's another one of these hybrids between shopping mall and a retail pedestrian street.
There is a charming curve to the architecture of the plaza which gives it cozy and comfortable feeling.
The nickname for this places the Koopgoot, that means 'shopping gutter', and from that lower level you can walk right into the metro station.
Looking down from street level for a final view of that lower mall, a lovely place to visit. Often when you're walking in the streets of the Netherlands you'll come upon a big calliope playing some pipe music. The street continues as Hoogstraat heading over to the Markthal that we've shown you in another episode.
Leaving the shopping malls now, walking a few blocks south to one of the most popular streets in the city, Witte de Withstraat.
Witte de Withstraat is one of those perfect urban streets. It's got everything. There are sidewalk restaurants, ethnic cuisines, cafés, bars, music clubs at night, art galleries, shops, wide sidewalks for pedestrians, trees providing shade. You can see why it's one of the most popular places for the locals to hang out.
The atmosphere here is more relaxed and slightly Bohemian compared to the shopping malls that we've just seen earlier, and yet it's a family-friendly place, unlike during the 1970s when it was noted for seedy bars and illegal gambling. Now it's a bit of urban heaven.
Right around it is a residential neighborhood that also includes some small hotels and vacation rentals.
Now we're walking a few blocks back up north to the City Hall, the Stadhuis.
Behind me is the City Hall. It's one of the few buildings that survived the bombing of World War II.
Called Stadhuis, it's a grand structure that was built between 1914 and 1920 in somewhat of a Renaissance style, located on a major boulevard, the Coolsingel, and still functions today is the seat of government with the mayor's office and the Council Chambers.
The building is open with free admission to the public areas on the ground floor, where you will find some lovely surprises. So step inside.
It's a beautiful building with an amazing lobby.
Rotterdam, The Netherlands - A Tour Of The Dutch City
A tour of the Dutch city of #Rotterdam with our guide Hassan Hidare from Rotterdam pages.
???????? Where we stayed in Rotterdam -
Rotterdam, South Holland in the Netherlands is only 25 minutes by train from Schiphol Airport and really easy to reach.
Unlike Amsterdam, the port city of Rotterdam was almost completely destroyed by Luftwaffe bombing during World War II. During the post war reconstruction Rotterdam became known for its groundbreaking architecture.
These building include the 1970’s cube houses designed by architect Piet Blom and the Pauluskerk. One of the old building which survived the war was the Witte Huis or ‘White House’ built in 1898 and was one Europe’s first skyscraper.
As well as the architecture, you can get great food from one of the 100 stalls at the impressive Markthal and you must visit some of the bars on the popular Witte de Withstraat.
So instead of just staying in Amsterdam when visiting the Netherlands you must take a trip to the far less crowded Rotterdam

Oude haven the White House and cube houses in Rotterdam, Netherlands 白宮和立方體房屋在荷蘭鹿特丹

De oude haven, het witte huis en cubus woningen.
Oude Haven, Rotterdam's most picturesque quarter. Sit down in one of the many restaurants and breathe in the atmosphere of the city. Rotterdam's historic old harbour is called Oude Haven. There are a number of fine restaurants located along the busy waterfront.Visitors to Rotterdam Holland in the Netherlands can enjoy a great view of Europe's first 'skyscraper' from those restaurants. The building, called the 'White House' was designed by architect W. Molenhoek and completed in 1898.
The Witte Huis or White House skyscraper, inspired by American office buildings and built in 1898 in the French Chateau-style, is evidence of Rotterdam's rapid growth and success. When completed, it was at that time the tallest office building in Europe, with a height of 45 m (147.64 ft).
Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of living as an urban roof: high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest.
There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
As residents are disturbed so often by curious passers-by, one owner decided to open a show cube, which is furnished as a normal house, and is making a living out of offering tours to visitors.The houses contain three floors: ground floor entrance first floor with living room and open kitchen second floor with two bedrooms and bathroom top floor which is sometimes used as a small garden.The walls and windows are angled at 54.7 degrees. The total area of the apartment is around 100 square meters, but around a quarter of the space is unusable because of the walls that are under the angled ceilings.
In 2006, a museum of chess pieces was opened under the houses. In 2009, the larger cubes were converted by Personal Architecture into a hostel run by Dutch hostel chain Stayokay.The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak Subway Station.
