This is a really fun thing to do, to learn more about Rotterdam during a tram ride!
From October-April there's a special tram that takes you through Rotterdam in 90 minutes. During that time there is a real Rotterdam speaker who tells you all about the sights you see. And there's live music (accordeon) to accompany his talk. Last but not least: traditional Dutch peasoup (snert) and drinks are served during the ride.
Even though I know Rotterdam well, I learned a good few new things. And the trip really covers a large area of Rotterdam, going east to Delfshaven, south to Kop van Zuid and Feyenoord, and the modern center (Coolsingel), Kralingen (east).
The ride costs € 15 per person and you can make reservations with the details below.
A tour with an English speaking guide, or other languages, is possible. But only as a group. This costs € 150 per tour plus the individual fare of € 15 p.p. But it is exclusive!

Discover the stars on the starboulevard in Rotterdam Waterstad, starting with Olympic champion boxing Bep van Klaveren. He made the first imprint in concrete with one hand and one fist. Soon after this boxing legend followed ‘mega-stars’ like Cliff Richard, Carlos Santana, Dionne Warwick, Carl Lewis, Tina Turner, Gloria Estefan, Toto, Zucchero, etc.
The Walk of Fame Starboulevard is situated on SCHIEDAMSEDIJK nearby Maritiem Museum Rotterdam and Buitenmuseum. The starboulevard can be reached by foot, metro (stop Leuvehaven), trams 6 and 20.

Opposite the Central Station stands the 132 m high Millenium Tower with 32 floors. The rather new building has the shape of a rocket. Some people say the resemblance with the Empire State Building in New York City is striking.
The 12 first floors are used by the luxury five-star hotel Westin, the other floors up are used as offices. A bridge connects the building with the Doelen and the conference halls at the southside.
I stayed in the Westin hotel two times myself, a special offer for the weekends. The views from the rooms at the city are great. Leave a Comment Address: Weena 686, Rotterdam, 3012 CNDirections: The Millenium Tower is located just opposite the Central Station. Arriving in Rotterdam by train you can't miss it.

 The big cruise ships in
Rotterdam by ATLC
Anything to do with events, concerts, exhibitions, accommodation. Rotterdam has a full agenda, pulling away major events from Amsterdam lately. If you think that's a smirk, well a tiny one. Amsterdam is a great city but I am very pro-Rotterdam :-) Leave a Comment

 DONNER BOOKSTORE by ATLC
Often, people just come to Rotterdam to spend a day here.
There are regular concerts, presentations, seminars and autographing by famous authors from all over the world. This bookstore is really on top of who's HOT in literary circles. From famous football hero's to former US presidents...
I worked here for 11 years until 2001. Leave a Comment Address: Lijnbaan 150, RotterdamPhone: + 31 10 4132070Website: www.donner.nl
