City
6 min
Staying on? A short list of galleries, bookshops, bakeries and one very good bar, all within a tram ride of Kraanhal.
WORDS BY
Adaeze Nwosu
Rotterdam rewards a slow weekend. Take the number 23 tram from outside Kraanhal to the museum quarter, where three galleries sit within five minutes of each other.
For books, the independent shop on the Nieuwe Binnenweg keeps a whole wall of photobooks, and the owner will talk about any of them for as long as you let him.
Finish at the bar on the top floor of the old harbour building. The view over the Maas at sunset is the best in the city, and the bartender knows it.
