Ontdek het onontdekte in Rotterdam

Rotterdam verveelt nooit. Volg de voetsporen van de locals en ontdek te stad zoals ze écht is. Check hun tips, maar volg vooral je eigen pad.

Ontdek Rotterdam als een local

Bezoek de Rotterdamse Oogstmarkt voor lokale lekkernijen, een heerlijke en duurzame boerenmarkt op het Noordplein. Kijk in de 1664 spiegels van het Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, het allereerste openbare kunstdepot ter wereld. Neem een watertaxi naar de Marconistraat: de havenindustrie is hier nog voelbaar, naast het nieuwe Makers District M4H, waar veel creatieven (Studio Roosegaarde, Atelier Van Lieshout) zijn gehuisvest. Huur een fiets om de omgeving te verkennen, neem een kijkje bij de Floating Farm waar futuristische landbouw plaatsvindt. Bezoek daarna het nabijgelegen Weelde, een creatieve vrijstaat waar je kunt stoppen voor een drankje en een hapje. Het mooiste park is Het Park bij de Euromast, waar weelderig groen en iconische architectuur elkaar ontmoeten pal naast het stadscentrum. Vergeet tijdens je bezoek aan Het Park niet even te stoppen bij de verborgen historische tuinen van Schoonoord. Meer lokale tips? Kijk op www.dorotterdam.com.

Hey Do-rist! Check out where the Rotterdammers hang out this weekend:

💚 Remastered
On July 30 we welcome the newest interactive experience in Rotterdam: Remastered. In this attraction you will be taken on an audiovisual journey for an hour and you become one with the art. Walk under a waterfall, learn to time travel and surround yourself with paintings by Dutch Old Masters such as Rembrandt, Van Gogh and Mondriaan. Each time you enter a new world and you don’t know what to expect. Buy your ticket in advance via www.remastered.nl 🖼✨

🤍 De Maaltuin Rotterdam - Trompenburg Gardens & Arboretum
De Maaltuin is a touring restaurant that has been opening in special places like castles, palaces, museums or botanical gardens since 2016. De Maaltuin introduces you to the hidden stories of these special places while walking and enjoying a delicious dinner. After two completely sold-out editions in 2019 and 2020, De Maaltuin returns this summer at Trompenburg Gardens & Arboretum with the greenest outdoor restaurant in town. Get your tickets at www.demaaltuin.nl 🥂💎

💚 New Port Pavilion
The new Port Pavilion officially opens its doors to the public tomorrow. Located in Rotterdam’s Maritime District, the Port Pavilion provides information and inspiration about our modern port, its history and maritime activities. It’s the perfect starting point for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in our port, steer away from the main tourist locations and discover the undiscovered, ‘do-ist’ style. You might just find yourself cycling across our innercity waters, or sail them in a hottug! Can it get more Rotterdam than that? ⚓

Always wanted to know where the director of the ss Rotterdam likes to have lunch? The man himself: Ton Wesselink, loves to tell you all about it.

"Hotel New York has a menu that you can peruse for hours because there is so much to choose from. Try the shrimp croquettes or take a seat at the oyster bar. The hotel’s Basement has a jazzy setting. Outside, take a look at the 3.5-meter-high artwork The Door by British artist Gavin Turk. It overlooks the Maas and beckons across the North Sea to the Atlantic crossing, a reminder of the emigrants."

According to Tim (owner of restaurant Holy Ravioli in the Oude Noorden) and his partner Ozzy, you should definitely walk through the Zwart Janstraat to see the typical Oude Noorden at a glance.

"This side street of the Zwaanshals is almost a kind of bazaar, with many Turkish and Moroccan shops, greengrocers from Pakistan and so on. People from a variety of cultures are always ready to chat, and the shops make you feel very welcome."

💚 Make sure to get your tickets for FAKE ME HARD: the large-scale, spectacular exhibition in Rotterdam with more than 40 futuristic installations about fake news, deefakes, algorithms and artificial intelligence 🔮👾🤖. Tickets are available at https://fakemehard.nl/

🤍'Vééls te Ècht' - a soundwalk right across Rotterdam. Through the ECHOES app you can walk a route of about an hour, where at different points sound fragments will start playing. The sound is made to 'play together' with the city. Check out all the information at https://www.jorgschellekens.nl/veels-te-echt/

💚 Inspired by the graffiti on the doors and walls of public toilets, multidisciplinary artist Rutger de Vries provided the checkroom and toilets of Het Nieuwe Instituut with a new coat of paint by using the sprinkler system and the technique of process painting.

According to Berend, co-owner of campaign agency Groenemorgen for sustainable ideas, you should go to the rain garden in the Zomerhofkwartier to discover green spots in unusual places.

"It used to be a street with many cars and parking spaces, now it’s a park full of flowers, plants and a water storage installation. And nearby is one of the first European agricultural rooftops, De Dakakker. Once a grey roof, now a beautiful vegetable garden with many edible flowers."

According to Charlotte (owner of Lilith Coffee & Pele Surf Shack) and Barend (Musician/Producer), you should stand on the sidelines at the Hookers Rugby Club or drink a beer at one of the genuine village publs on the Prins Hendrikstraat to experience the real Hoek van Holland 🌊

“Hoek van Holland also has many surf fanatics, so the wide beach of this 'southwestern corner of the Netherlands' forms the context for many days in the life of a typical Hoekenees. Sporty people!”

In Rotterdam, we are more than happy to welcome new works of art into the city 🎨✨

1. L’Âge d’Or 🚪
On world Refugee Day, Sunday June 20, Mayor of Rotterdam Aboutaleb unveiled this new work of art by young British Artist Gavin Turk. This langer-than-life door represents hope, dreams and oppurtunities, like a door that is always open. The Wilhelminapier in the Kop van Zuid district is an ideal location. In the 19th and 20th centuries, more than three milion emigrants passed through the port of Rotterdam for the other side of the world 🌟

2. Mozes 🦏
Joep van Lieshout made this work during the negotiations surrounding BRUTUS, the megalomaniac real estate development with housing, a museum and a cultural cluster in the Rotterdam harbour area (M4H). Frustrated by all the setbacks, doubts and failures, Van Lieshout sculpted Mozes in one weekend. In an explosion of energy, he created the animal he identified with at that moment. An animal that does not allow himself to be diverted from his path and keeps on pushing. If you believe in something, then you don't give up 🦏❤️💪🏽
