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.

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.

We really enjoyed our tour with Russ. He took us to number of interesting sights on our walking tour. The highlight was definitely our tour of the Kube Houses.

We were thrilled with our experience and so glad we chose this tour/company to see Rotterdam prior to leaving on a cruise. They contacted us before we arrived to see if we had any requests so they could tailor this intimate tour to our wishes and our guide asked again when we met up. We just asked to see some interesting sites and that was fine, too. That meant we saw most of the notable sites and some of his favorite spots. We also decided together where to end the tour. Communication was fine through the Viator app and WhatsApp. We had the choice as we went to walk a lot or stop and sit and chat and snack or whatever. We chose to keep going and ended up probably walking about 6 miles, seeing a lot of the City from the Central Station down to the waterfront and walking under the Erasmus Bridge. We stopped to see the St. Lawrence church and were met with a fresh stroopwafel after we looked around. We saw the (interesting, but perhaps overrated) cube houses and the market hall, where we were treated to a giant cone of fries topped with mayo and peanut satay sauce. There were more sites and several beautiful parks, just fading from their summer glory as it was mid-September. All the while our guide gave us interesting info about the Netherlands and Rotterdam and generally just chatted about life there and in the USA. An energetic start to our vacation, but an enjoyable one, topped off with a great recommendation for a dinner spot. Very much recommended.

Our guide, Smaranda, was wonderful!!! She took us all over the city and showed us how the locals lived! From open markets, to the cube houses, museum areas, roof top views, it was an awesome tour! I would recommend Smaranda to anyone wanting to see Rotterdam from a locals perspective.
