What To Expect
Kijk-Kubus
In the 70s of the 20th century, architects wanted to create hospitable residential areas with the participation of the residents and other users in response to the large-scale and a gray modernism of the architecture of the reconstruction after WWII.
Luchtsingel
In 2011, the municipality of Rotterdam organized the first city initiative, an administrative instrument to stimulate administrative innovation and citizen participation. The inhabitants of Rotterdam were called upon to submit projects that would bring about the enlivening of the city and improve the quality of life in the city. An amount of 4 million has been set aside from the city initiative to implement the project.

5.00#1 walking tour we’ve done from Viator or Tours-by-Locals. Eleftheria was phenomenal in giving us a comprehensive and personal view of Rotterdam in 4 short hours that we used to decide where to spend most of our time over the next 2 days. Like the outdoor bar & restaurant on the canal from where you could watch boats pass by, the “White House” or the Cube Houses across the way. She whisked us off from our hotel and in less than a block we were on the tram headed to Central Station, where she provided the history and importance of the station and the train system that runs throughout the Netherlands. Then it was off to see the 4 main sections of the city and the main attractions and hidden gems in each. One of the hidden gems is the Rotterdam City Hall where El got us a personalized, private tour provided by one of the longest tenured stewards who worked there. We were able to see areas of building normally off limits that held historical significance for the city and the Netherlands. Highly recommended a visit to the building and the adjacent, enclosed garden. After the City Hall tour she took us to a wonderful bakery around the corner that had delicious meat filled pastries. We even had enough time for El to take us to her favorite coffee bar where we had some of the best coffee we’ve ever tasted. And to top everything off, for the grand finale she took us from across town to our hotel on a river taxi. We had a fantastic afternoon in Rotterdam with Eleftheria and strongly recommend her and TourGuys.
