Rotterdam is best known as a busting Metropolis. After the majority of the inner city of Rotterdam was destroyed during the Second World War, a new, modern city emerged from the ashes. Even today, remnants of the pre-war city center can still be found scattered throughout the city. I have listed a numer of special places for you. What is left? - Sint-Laurenskerk: The important symbol of Rotterdam is an excellant start to your journey through time. The Sint-Laurenskerk is the only remnant of the medieval center of Rotterdam. At that time, the church was the center of the city wher many activities took place. You will also find the largest chrurch organ in the Nederlands here. Althought the church is still standing, it was bad damaged in 1940. Today you can view the church Tuesday through saturday. - Museum Het Schielandshuis: The Schielandshuis is the last remaining seventeenth-century building in the center of Rotterdam and nowadays a museum about the history of the city. Museum Het Schielandshuis, now enclosed by modern tal buildings, is a historic icon. It is also a perfect place to continue your visit to the city, as the house contains, in addition to a museum, the updated Rotterdam Tourist Information. - Wereldmuseum Rotterdam: This beautiful and elegant 19th century building on the Willemskade houses an extensive collection of art and Utensils from cultures and distant civilizations. The collection reflects one hundred and sixty years of voyages of discovery from Rotterdam. You can follow the colonial past of Rotterdam in the Wereldmuseum Rotterdam on the basis of thousands of objects from, among others, Asia, Oceania and Africa. - Rotterdam City hall: The Rotterdam city hall, located on the Coolsingel, is a beautiful building. It was built between 1914 and 1920 and has survived the bombing of 1940 miriculously enough. Take a walk arond the building and view the many special sculptures. Have you always wanted to know what the town hall looks like on the inside? You can sign up for a tour. Or take a look at the inner garden of the town hall, which is in fact freely accessible. - Delfshaven: Delfshaven is a part of the old city that has withstood the bombing as a whole. In the historic canal houses you will find cozy trinkets, jenever cafes and hearty eateries. During your walk throught Delfshaven you certainly do not want to miss the Pilgrim Father's Church, a 15th century building. There is also "De Delft", a replica of an eighteen-century warship, to complete your historic journey throught Delfshaven. Where can you eat and drink better than at Hotel New York! On the ground floor there is a large café-restaurant where 400 guests can dine à la carte. The wide menu allows our guests to eat extensively or simply in all price ranges and from early morning until late at night. The restaurant’s unique atmosphere features high ceilings, colorful lamps, sturdy ship elements and robust pipes and pillars.

The historic center of Delft is a picture! You walk between ancient facades where all kinds of special and nice shops can be found along old canals full of boats. One place is even more beautiful than the other. And then you suddenly step out of one of the narrow streets into a huge square. This is the Markt: the place to be with even more nice shops, the beautiful detached town hall with red shutters and many decorations and the huge tower of the Nieuwe Kerk. A cold beer tastes extra good on one of the many cozy terraces of this beautiful square. Start the day with a fresh coffee and homemade apple pie at " Uit de Kunst" ( Oude Delft 140). In front of the coffee house is a telephone booth in wich a different artist exhibits every month. Jokingly it is also called the smalllest museum of the world. Walk along the canal to the most photogenic part of Delft on the corner of Nieuwstraat and Wijnhaven. Take a few photos and continue your way to Koornmarkt 113 where you board a tour boat for a trip throught the canals of Delft ( from april to october). Lunch: It's time to have lunch at Stads-Koffyhuis Kleyweg ( Oude Delft 133), which serves the tastiest sandwiches in the Netherlands. Also take a look at the toilets, which are decorated with Delft Blue mosaic. Then it's time to visit the Prinsenhof Museum ( Sint-Agathaplein 1) were bullet holes in the wall remind you of attack on Prince Willem of Oranje in 1584. Continue to the Vermeer Center Delft ( Voldersgracht 21) and find out everything about the master of light, Johannes vermeer. Walk to the Markt via the workshop of aardewerkfabriek De Candelaer ( Kerkstraat 13), were Delft Blue painters are working. Resting break: If it's time for a snack you can choose from a Dutch herring at the fish banks ( Camarets2) or a portion of "Bill Clinton" poffertjes in the Gulden ABC ( Markt34). Enjoy this break because you will be climbing the 365 steps of the Nieuwe Kerk for a magnificent view that stretches from Rotterdam to The Hague. If bad weather hunders you from climbing, visit the Praalgraf and the exhibition about the Royal House in the Nieuwe Kerk. Burgundian experience: A day in Delft must be concluded with a good meal. First order a glass of beer and a portion of bitterballen in café De Wijnhaven ( Wijnhaven 22). De Sjees ( Markt 5) or Stadscafé De Waag ( Markt 11). Then opt for a Burgundian experience in Stadsherberg de Mol ( Molslaan 104), were you will be given medieval clothing and must eat with your hands. If you prefer a cilinary experience that will stimulate yor taste buds, then sit down at restaurant Van Der Dussen ( Bagijnhof 118).
