You can escape the crowds for an afternoon in Kralingen. Here, sip drinks at Aloha or blow out by the lake.
This is your district if you want to discover elegant Rotterdam. Most of the district dates back to the 19th century and almost has the allure of a Parisian neighbourhood. While strolling through the stately avenues, you will meet the students and families who live here. In the Trompenburg gardens or by the Kralingse Plas, you would almost forget you are in a big city. At night, Kralingen's cafés and restaurants are bustling. At Aloha, in the old Tropicana swimming paradise, locals gather for drinks or a party. The neighbourhood is easy to reach on foot or by bike from the city centre, but there is also a metro.
