Things to do in Rotterdam Old Harbor
A stone's throw from the cube houses and the new and ultra-modern covered market (Binnenrotte Market) is the Oudehaven area. Dating back to the 14th century, it is the oldest port in Rotterdam. It can be said that the commercial and port life of the city developed thanks to this port.
In the historic harbor you can admire an impressive collection of ships and boats while relaxing at one of the bars or outdoor tables located in the area. Here you will also find the Willemsbrug bridge and the Witte Huis, which means 'white house' in Dutch, the first skyscraper in Europe, built in 1898.
The Oude Haven is part of the Maritime District and can be reached by metro or train (stop Blaak) or water taxi.

Reviews Rotterdam Old Harbor
“Die versprochenen Städteführungen fanden nicht statt, es gab nur Stadtrundfahrten mit dem Bus. Die Freizeiten waren viel zu kurz um sich etwas anzuschauen oder in Ruhe zu Essen. Auch gab es nicht die versprochenen Ansagen in Deutsch - nur in Englisch und Spanisch. Die Erwartungen und die Freude auf diesen Ausflug waren groß und wurden sehr enttäuscht .”
“Group of 6 men, all throughly enjoyed the tour. Good interaction with Susan our guide, would recommend to anyone staying near Rotterdam. Thank You!”
“Really informative tour that took me around all of the key sites and was great value for money too!”
