Covid - 19
In Rotterdam public life has gradually opened up again. Public Transport started running a normal service from June 1st, but the 1.5 m distancing rule limits the number of seats and standing room considerably. Shops are open, most with a door policy and designated routing. Same applies to tourist attractions. Café's and restaurants are open from June 1st. Restaurants work on reservation basis only. All guests must be seated. Name and contact information must be given. Bars and restaurants close at 1am. Last admissions at midnight. Busy spots are to be avoided. Unfortunately the number of infections is rising again. Keep Rotterdam healthy!
The best way for
getting to know a city is to explore it on fo
ot.
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
walk guide book is available from bookshops and can be ordered
