Curious about how Rotterdam used to be? In the beautiful Scheepvaartkwartier, right on the river Maas, you can still taste the atmosphere of yesteryear.
The Scheepvaartkwartier is the place to be for good food and monumental buildings, while the quays are a constant reminder that the sea is not far away. The beautiful buildings of this neighbourhood once belonged to self-made port barons, bankers and directors. The grandeur of yesteryear is still evident here, but these days the neighbourhood is also famous for its diverse restaurants. There's the Westelijk Handelsterrein with its cosy grand café atmosphere and Michelin-starred cooking at pavilion Parkheuvel.
