For the vibrant nightlife of Rotterdam you have to go to the Witte de Withkwartier. Anyone who wants to continue until the early hours, will certainly have something to do with the many pubs and cafés. Start the evening well with the best burger in the Netherlands at Ter Marsch & Co. Then explore the best nightlife Rotterdam has to offer until the wee hours.
The internationally acclaimed café De Witte Aap is a household name in the city and is considered by many to be the world's best bar. By the way, you don't have to wait until the evening for all that fun: it is also bustling here in the afternoon.
Did you know…
The Witte de Withkwartier isn't just for party animals? Art lovers can also indulge themselves here! The Witte de Withstraat is also called the art axis of Rotterdam, because it connects the Museumpark (where Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum is located, among others) and the Maritime Museum. There are also several cultural institutions such as TENT, Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art and WORM. The latter was voted best podium in the Netherlands in 2018.
TIP:
Were you planning to run from one museum to another or from one pub to another? Take it easy and take a look at the side streets of the Witte de Withstraat. Artists have decorated the streets with beautiful street art. And oh yes: you should not miss the best Surinamese in Rotterdam: Warung Mini at number 47.
