- 7.Witte de Withstraat — Rotterdam's cultural high street — galleries and design shops by day, and the densest run of bars and restaurants in the city by night. The place to eat and drink your way along one street; start with a rooftop and follow the crowd from there.
- 13.The Maritime Museum & old harbour — By the Leuvehaven basin full of historic ships and cranes, a hands-on museum of Rotterdam's whole reason to exist — the sea, the port and the trade. Great for kids, and the outdoor harbour of old vessels is free to wander.
