Stay : Culture and architecture in Rotterdam

Have lunch or brunch at Bazar, a restaurant that symbolizes the city's ethnic richness. Visit the Boijmans van Beuningen museum, which houses an incredible collection from the Middle Ages to the present day. This museum, of great beauty, is a must with temporary exhibitions that also make the event. Continue with a visit to the Kunsthal where 25 temporary exhibitions are held each year; the building, designed by Rem Koolhaas, is particularly well known. Eat in the maritime district, for example at Zeezout, an excellent fish restaurant or at the Down Under restaurant of the Mainport Hotel, which offers a very interesting view of the old port.

In the morning, visit the city with Archiguides, which organizes specialized architectural tours. Take a water taxi to the New York Hotel for lunch and then visit the Museum of Photography. Walk towards the old port and visit Piet Blom's famous cube houses. Visit the Museum Rotterdam (also by Rem Koolhaas) which is the perfect starting point for any tour of the city to understand its architecture and people. Eat at Restaurant 13, which celebrates local produce. Continue the evening on the Witte de Withstraat, for example at the Witte Aap bar. Afterwards, you can go to Bar or Annabel near the Hofbogen to celebrate until the end of the night. If you're in a jazzy mood, Bird is the place to be.

Visit the Nieuwe Instituut, the architectural institute of Jo Coenen. Not forgetting to go to Maison Sonneveld, an ultramodern Residence for the time designed by architect firm Brinkman & Van der Vlucht. Lunch at Bagel Bakeryou Rodin and then go along the Witte de Withstraat and the Van Oldenbarneveldtstraat, full of fashion and design shops, bars and restaurants.
