Food / Restaurants

Restaurant 1
Around €17,50 for a dish.

Rotterdam’s first Michelin-star restaurant, famous for their unorthodox molecular-style of cooking.

 

Restaurant 2
Around €8,00 for a dish.

Your best bet for Asian food, and so cheap it should be illegal. Try everything.

(Food) markets


Market 1
Great for alternative food on a beautiful location! Open: daily from 12am – 11pm

Bars


Bar 1
Your best bet for a great beer and a shot at the billiard table!

 Bar 2
If you love wine, like me, then this should be on your list. Don’t ask for their menu, let the sommelier advise you!

Bar 3
With a great view on the Meuse, this pub is the best choice on those sultry summer nights. Order a tangy Cosmopolitan cocktail as you watch the sunset…

 

Nightlife


Party place 1
The heart of The Hague’s house scene, dance till you drop!

Party place 2
The best way to meet locals and listen to different style of modern music.

Party place 3
A good way to practice your salsa steps and get on those tobasco toes! Every Friday night merengue night!

 

Shopping


Stroll along the exclusive STREET, to shop for your finest clothing brands and upmarket accessories.

The shopping center at STREET takes you into the greatest international warehouses like H&M and Zara.

A lesser known gem, but great place to find vintage and second-hand clothing is STREET.

 

Coffeeshops (no coffee; Weed)


Coffeeshop 1
Nice seating inside and very good information with your quality pot.

Coffeeshop 2
A favorite among locals, because of its great location and ever so giggly crowd.

Coffeeshop 3
Good for trying space cake or hash brownies (no, not the English breakfast-style ones)…

Museum 1
Perhaps the most important museum for our city.

Museum 2
Well-known for their monthly expeditions.

This worldly museum will take you on a trip around the globe.

Parks/beaches

A beautiful park to enjoy a view of the city.

Park 2
Great for running, hiring a canoe for the day, or just enjoying a picnic by the water.

Want to walk for hours, without seeing anyone? This beautiful hilly park is perfect for family outings and a large off-leash area for dogs.
