Culture and architecture in Rotterdam

Have lunch or brunch at Bazar, a restaurant that symbolizes the city's ethnic richness. Visit the Boijmans van Beuningen museum, which houses an incredible collection from the Middle Ages to the present day. This museum, of great beauty, is a must with temporary exhibitions that also make the event. Continue with a visit to the Kunsthal where 25 temporary exhibitions are held each year; the building, designed by Rem Koolhaas, is particularly well known. Eat in the maritime district, for example at Zeezout, an excellent fish restaurant or at the Down Under restaurant of the Mainport Hotel, which offers a very interesting view of the old port.

In the morning, visit the city with Archiguides, who organizes walks specializing in architecture. Take a water taxi to the New York Hotel for lunch and then visit the Photography Museum. Walk towards the old port and visit Piet Blom's famous clubhouses. Visit the Rotterdam Museum (also the work of Rem Koolhaas) which is the ideal starting point for any visit to the city to understand its architecture and people. Eat at restaurant 13, which celebrates local products. Continue the evening on the Witte de Withstraat, for example at the Witte Aap bar. Then you can go to Bar or Annabel near the "Hofbogen" to celebrate until the end of the night. If you're in a jazzy mood, you should go to Bird's.

Visit the Nieuwe Instituut, the architectural institute of Jo Coenen. Not forgetting to go to Maison Sonneveld, an ultramodern Residence for the time designed by architect firm Brinkman & Van der Vlucht. Lunch at Bagel Bakeryou Rodin and then go along the Witte de Withstraat and the Van Oldenbarneveldtstraat, full of fashion and design shops, bars and restaurants.
