Do you like an exciting mix between multicultural shops and the hippest bars and shops? Then the Old West is for you.
For a vibrant and multicultural neighbourhood, Oude Westen is the place to be. The West-Kruiskade is often called Rotterdam's Chinatown, but apart from all the Chinese restaurants and shops, you will also find many shops from other cultures. Vacancy and low rents have attracted many young entrepreneurs, so the area now offers a fine mix of exotic and exclusive hip shops. From front to back, the Nieuwe Binnenweg is full of nice coffee bars, restaurants and bakeries. You'll also find many galleries and artistic shops. Further along is Museumpark.
