Book: Rotterdam Walk
The city walk is now available as book from bookshops and on line.The
best way 
for
getting to know a city is to explore it on foot. This is true for
Rotterdam as well. Walking through the city you get a feel for the
diversity of the place and you get a picture of how the city has
developed over the centuries. I have developed a self-guided walk
through the centre of Rotterdam (and a little beyond), that will give a
thorough first impression of the city. The route will lead
you past the main sights of Rotterdam, but also includes lesser known
spots. Starting off at Rotterdam’s brand new Central Railway station it
continues through the commercial centre of the city and some of its
ground breaking modern architecture. Also some of the oldest buildings
left in the city deserve some attention like the St Laurens Church
(1449) and the Schielandhuis (1665). The city newest attraction, the
Market Hall sits beside the quirkiest apartment block you will ever see:
the cubic housing block. On it goes along the Old Port (Oude Haven) and
the riverfront. The iconic Erasmus Bridge will lead us to the South Bank
and its redevelopments of former docklands. A water taxi ride will take
us back to the centre introducing the 19th century Maritime Quarter, the
Euromast observation tower (185m / 600ft), the Park and the Museums
around Museum Park. The route passes underground stations and tramway
stops on numerous occasions, so that you can stop or pick up the walk at
virtually every stage of the route. De wandelingen voeren langs
bekende bezienswaardigheden, maar vooral ook langs o when you want to
explore the city of Rotterdam on foot. The walk takes you through the
city centre and helps you to find the cultural treasures, modern
architectur and historic sites of Rotterdam.
