1 Day Rotterdam itinerary
10:00
After breakfast, kick off your 1 day Rotterdam adventure in the city centre. From Rotterdam Central Station, walk or take the tram to the Witte de Withstraat and lose yourself in contemporary art at Kunstinstituut Melly. This cultural gem has been shaping the art scene for 35 years, and with your City Card, you can explore it for half the price.
12:30
Feeling thirsty after all that art? Head to Rotterdam West, a creative hotspot waiting to be discovered. Take the tram or metro to Marconiplein, then enjoy a short walk to Stadshaven Brouwerij. This ultramodern brewery embraces innovation and sustainability, using techniques that minimise water and energy waste while crafting delicious beers. Get a drink, try one of their surprising dishes or join a guided brewery tour (including a beer at the end) with a 25% discount using your card. During this tour you'll discover how spent grain from beer helps feed the cows at the Floating Farm: the world's first floating dairy farm committed to fresh produce and sustainable practices.
14:00
Curious? This innovative, eco-friendly Floating Farm is just a 15-minute walk from the brewery. Explore the farm, learn about urban agriculture and see how cheese and milk are made. Visit the farm shop and receive 25% off their delicious farm cheese.
16:00
Before dinner, unwind at Trompenburg Gardens & Arboretum: a 8-hectare paradise for plant enthusiasts and nature lovers. Since this oasis is on the other side of the city in Kralingen, we highly recommend adding public transport to your card. That way, you can make the most of your day.
