And with accommodation taken care of, the only thing to think about is how much fun you’re going to cram into a single city break.
Lovers of historical culture rejoice – museums are everywhere in Rotterdam.

A visit here and you’ll understand why it’s known as the toughest museum in Rotterdam. And for something a little more laid back, take a 15-minute wander to the Maritime Museum to learn all about Rotterdam’s nautical past.
Had your fill of museums? How about filling your stomach instead? Rotterdam’s famous Markethal’s just five minutes away and stuffed with no less than 100 food stands, 15 food shops and, a variety of different restaurants specialising in cuisine from around the world. From fine cheeses and local cuisine to slow-cooked exotic meats of every description, any self-respecting foodie would be happy to spend at least a couple of hours here. Your hotel’s doing pretty well in the food department, too, serving up a delicious breakfast of traditional favourites to get your days off to the best possible start.

Find out more about Rotterdam City
Much of Rotterdam had to be rebuilt after the Second World War, but some of its progressive pre-1940s highlights remain. A walk through the city centre takes in Mediaeval masterpieces, futuristic living concepts, and sky-high giants – it’s no surprise that the city is home to the International Architecture Biennale and the Netherlands Architecture Institute.
Rotterdam’s buzzing heartland is the Cool District. Daytimes here are all about chic boutiques, edgy exhibitions, and funky cafés, while the nights come alive with bustling bars, global bites, and quirky theatre shows. Love dancing into the early hours? Clubs in the central Witte de Withkwartier area blast everything from avant-garde jazz to old school techno.
Love-struck couples adore the Feijenoord district’s romantic blend of city views and trendy food – don’t miss the Fenix Food Factory – while the Noord district offers families park picnics, canal walks, and trips to the roaringly good Rotterdam Zoo.
