Local knowledge for Rotterdam
Where to stay
Hostels cluster near Rotterdam Centraal and along Witte de Withstraat, which puts you within walking distance of the Markthal, the cube houses at Blaak, and the Erasmusbrug waterfront. Delfshaven, the preserved harbor district to the west, tends to run quieter and occasionally cheaper if you don't mind a short RET tram ride into the center.
Getting around
- Load an OV-chipkaart with credit instead of buying single-use tickets. The RET metro and tram network covers the whole city, and tap-in/tap-out fares are meaningfully cheaper than one-off paper tickets.
- The Markthal near Blaak is free to walk through and the food stalls make a solid cheap lunch. Go on a weekday to skip the weekend crowd and find more of the stalls actually running.
- If you plan to visit more than two or three museums, buy a Museumkaart at the first one. It covers entry at the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen and most other Rotterdam museums, and the annual fee pays for itself quickly.
When to go
Hostels are cheapest from January through March. July and August fill up fast, and beds around the North Sea Jazz Festival in early July book out weeks ahead.
