| Rotterdam Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see 'De Boeg' - monument for WWII casualities in the merchant navy 'De Boeg' - monument for WWII casualities in the merchant navy Carel Ris This large and modern port city has risen phoenixlike from the ashes of World War II. In 1940 the Germans bombed the city to force a fast surrender of the Netherlands. Most demolition was actually done in the process of rebuilding the city to modern standards. Only three large buildings in the center have survived miraculously: the city hall, the St. Laurence church and the White House. Today Rotterdam is the most modern city in The Netherlands, with the high rising towers of company buildings in the center. Some people think it became a playground for architects trying their theories and thus making Rotterdam one giant wind tunnel, but you can really feel things are happening here if you are interested in architecture. For quite some time it is the place to be for a perfect night out. Though Rotown has decent, though small acts and is well-known internationally, The Thalialounge is the place to see and be seen in a groovy club atmosphere, and De Doelen is a wonderful venue for classical music. Clubs like Now&Wow, Off Corso and Baja Beach Club are very popular in The Netherlands. Rotterdam has become nightlife city number one, taking over this position from Amsterdam. Symbol of Rotterdam is the Euromast Space Tower, 605ft/184m tall that had to be extended several times to keep its leading position as highest building of the Meuse city. From this tower with its revolving sit-down elevator you have an excellent view over the city and the surrounding industrial harbour landscape. The harbour, one of the busiest in the world, is a draw in itself and still the largest one if you count by pure volume. A city like this can’t do without Museums. A collection of painting, sculpture and design worth seeing is displayed at the Boymans-van-Beuningen Museum. A day in Rotterdam is sufficient for most, but you can also spend several days if you want to see it all. The Dutch institutes of photography and of architecture are located right near the center, and there are lots of galleries. In February there is always the International Film Festival and every other year there is a photo biennale. The Kunsthal, designed by the famous architect Rem Koolhaas, has changing exhibitions on all sorts of expressions of art and culture. The people, though claiming to be one of the friendliest of Holland, tend to somewhat distrust foreigners. In 2004 the city laws to forbid people from poorer families to settle in the city came to be, when all other recources were depleted to stop poverty from becoming ever more popular. It is therefore no surprise Rotterdam was also the home of the right wing politician Pim Fortuyn, who became the first victim ever of political assassination in The Netherlands when he was killed on May 6th, 2002. There is a statue you can visit, which still regularly has flowers put underneath it. Because Rotterdam is very near Brussels and The Hague and because it is a huge port, it has a huge expat community which has settled in this only Dutch metropole. Actually, near to 60% of the population is either non-Dutch or Dutch born abroad (allochtonen, in Dutch). The problem most of the expat community encounters is the bureaucratic way the municipality and government handles licenses, legal documentation etc. If you want to live in Rotterdam or The Netherlands be sure to learn the language as fast as you can, because there is a tendency of being less tolerant in The Netherlands. The Dutch can get very annoyed if you have lived there for a few years and still don't talk Dutch. For the expat community in Rotterdam there is website with all kinds of tips & tricks to get used to the Rotterdam way of life www.yourrotterdam.com. Furthermore you can always contact the municipality for information about living in Rotterdam. Most of the hassle above can be ignored by European Union citizens though, as they are exempt of most of the paperwork asked from other foreigners. Come to Rotterdam for the architecture, the museums, the nightlife, a refreshing boattrip on the Meuse or just some shopping. _________Sights Edit This furry animals furry animals JB Perrin Display all or display just: Landmarks Museums Public Buildings general Show best rated on top | Show in alphabetical order [Add Sight] Arboretum Trompenburg Edit This This is a unique botanical garden in the heart of Rotterdam since 1820 and it's the best place to enjoy the nature and tranquility in the noisy Dutch city.

Rotterdam was to be a city with separated areas for offices, industry and living. The plan therefore incorporated broad motorways, bicycle paths and pedestrian areas. Even today the centre is very accessible, though parking space is becoming more and more of a problem. There are three public transport options: trams, busses and subways. A taxicab can be hailed if the sign is not lit or at a taxistand. [Add Local transport mode] Taxis Edit This Chrysler C300 in Rotterdam Chrysler C300 in Rotterdam photo by: www.TaxiRotterdam.com Taxis are rather expensive in the Netherlands; Rotterdam is no exception. Unlike in most other Dutch cities, where you're not supposed to hail cabs, but find yourself a taxi stand instead and call from there, in Rotterdam you can also hail one when the sign on the roof is lit. Most cafes and restaurants will also be happy to call you a taxi when you're leaving, just ask. Rotterdamse Taxi Centrale RTC is a former monopolist. Taxi Rotterdam is a more recent competitor and seems to be slightly cheaper.

| ***********Rotterdam****** Rotterdam è conosciuta soprattutto per il suo porto, che è il più grande del mondo e merita sicuramente una visita, magari in battello. Ma la città stessa offre molto di più. Rotterdam è una città stimolante, viva sia di giorno che di notte. Una città piena di vitalità da cogliere di giorno e di notte. Rotterdam vi invita a scoprire queste sue diverse facce. Fate un giro in battello per il porto e, altra tappa obbligatoria, allEuromast con la sua torre spaziale. Da qui si ha una vista mozzafiato sul fiume Mosa e il porto. Quando il tempo è bello si può vedere anche il Mare del Nord. ARTE E CULTURA Lofferta culturale della città di Rotterdam non è certo di secondaria importanza. La Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra (direttore: Valery Gergiev) è una delle migliori orchestre sinfoniche nel mondo. Il museo Boijmans Van Beuningen possiede una collezione fantastica di arte dei secoli passati e di arte contemporanea. Ogni anno si svolgono nella Kunsthal diverse esposizioni. FESTIVAL E DIVERTIMENTO Rotterdam è la città olandese dei festival, con il Solero Zomercarnaval e la FFWD Heineken Dance Parade. La città ha una vita notturna intensa: gli splendidi club e le frequentatissime discoteche fanno di Rotterdam la città per eccellenza per chi ama ballare. Fare shopping nel moderno centro della città di Rotterdam con i suoi numerosi negozi e grandi magazzini è un vero piacere. Spesso sono aperti anche di domenica. MUSEI Rotterdam vanta un gran numero di musei: la Kunsthal organizza importanti mostre darte; il Maritiem Museum è uno dei più affascinanti musei sulla navigazione che si possono immaginare; il Museum Boijmans van Beuningen è unistituzione in materia di arte antica e moderna; il Nederlands Architectuur instituut è dedicato allarchitettura e il Wereldmuseum dedica lo spazio allinterno del suo edificio alle varie culture di questo mondo. ARCHITETTURA MODERNA Gli amanti dellarchitettura troveranno moltissimo a Rotterdam. Le famose case cubo dellarchitetto Piet Blom meritano una visita, insieme al quartiere Kop van Zuid, che rende Rotterdam un museo darchitettura a cielo aperto. Negli anni venti e trenta del secolo scorso, Rotterdam godeva già della fama di centro internazionale dellarchitettura moderna. Il quartiere De Kiefhoek dellarchitetto J.J.P. Oud e la famosa fabbrica Van Nelle di Brinkman sono alcuni esempi eloquenti. Il periodo del dopoguerra ha anche avuto una fertilissima attività edile, con la ricostruzione del centro della città e gli sviluppi recenti della Kop van Zuid. Alcuni progetti memorabili sono quelli dei grandi architetti Renzo Piano e Peter Wilson. Rotterdam congiunge larchitettura e lurbanistica di tutti i tempi e rappresenta tutti gli stili del ventesimo secolo. ITINERARI LArchiCenter, un dipartimento dellUfficio del Turismo a Rotterdam specializzato in architettura, è ospitato nel Nederlands Architectuur instituut (NAi). Propone ai visitatori degli itinerari particolari, che portano agli esempi più importanti dellarchitettura urbanistica dalla mano di architetti come Jahn, Foster e Piano, larchitettura di Koolhaas, Quist, Klunder, Hoogstad, Bonnema, Blom e Weber, ed anche dalle famose costruzioni di Brinkman e Van der Vlught, Van den Broek e Bakema, Dudok, Maaskant e J.J.P. Oud. Lo scenario viene completato dal Ponte Erasmo (Erasmusbrug) e le sculture di artisti famosi come De Kooning, Picasso, Gabo, Zadkine e Rodin.

In ogni libro che parli dei Paesi Bassi è possibile trovare almeno una foto di questo paesaggio, costellato di mulini a vento. Nel 1997 i mulini di Kinderdijk sono stati inclusi nella lista dei patrimoni artistici dellUnesco. Nella zona dello Alblasserwaard, in cui si trova Kinderdijk, vennero costruiti una serie di canali (chiamati "weteringen") per controllare il livello dellacqua nei polders. Presto il livello del terreno si abbassò nuovamente e si resero necessarie strutture più efficaci: i mulini. I mulini di Kinderdijk sono diciotto, distibuiti su due file opposte. Da una parte si trovano 9 mulini a base circolare che mantengono asciutto il Nederwaard, dallaltra 9 mulini a base ottagonale che bonificano il Overwaard. La leggenda vuole che durante lalluvione del 1420 (la più pesante mai avvenuta) una culla con allinterno un bambino ed un gatto, trasportata dalle acque andò a depositarsi sulla diga, da qui il nome Kinderdijk (la diga del bambino). Nei mesi di luglio ed agosto, i mulini funzionano ogni sabato, se vi recate a Kinderdijk assicuratevi di portare la macchina fotografica: quando tutti i mulini sono in funzione offrono una visuale unica. Il mulino Nederwaardmolen 2 è aperto al pubblico e permette di farsi unidea di come vivevano e dove lavoravano i mugnai. La Giornata Nazionale dei Mulini In passato i mulini erano spesso un punto di riferimento per larea circostante. Con la posizione delle pale, del mulino, la comunità veniva tenuta al corrente di tutti gli avvenimenti e delle ultime notizie. In caso di avvenimenti festosi, ad esempio, le pale erano in posizione 'di arrivo' ovvero il mugnaio le aveva fermate appena prima che la pala verticale raggiungesse la posizione più alta. In caso di lutto le pale venivano posizionate 'andanti' ovvero la pala verticale ferma appena oltrepassato il punto più alto. Con le pale in posizione perfettamente orizzontale e verticale il mugnaio indicava che avrebbe ripreso il lavoro in breve tempo. Durante la Seconda Guerra Mondiale i mulini venivano usati per trasmettere messaggi cifrati e per avvertire in caso di imminenti retate. Il secondo sabato di maggio le pale vengono posizionate 'al centro' in occasione della giornata nazionale dei mulini. In questa giornata di festa più di 600 mulini (sia a vento che ad acqua) vengono aperti al pubblico e i mugnai mostrano il funzionamento. I mulini aperti ai visitatori si possono riconoscere per il gagliardetto blu che appendono allesterno. La Giornata Nazionale dei Mulini è stata istituita con scopi di beneficenza. Il paese delle biciclette UN PAESE IDEALE PER LE BICICLETTE Una delle prime cose che vi c'olpirà in Olanda è lonnipresenza delle biciclette. Non è molto sorprendente per un paese dove 15 milioni di abitanti possiedono circa 12 milioni di biciclette. E soprattutto un mezzo di trasporto per recarsi al lavoro, a scuola e anche per fare delle passeggiate, in breve, la bicicletta appartiene alla vita quotidiana degli olandesi. Naturalmente anche nel tempo libero gli olandesi amano uscire in bicicletta. Il paese, che è prevalentemente pianeggiante, è organizzato ottimamente per il ciclismo. Numerose piste ciclabili sono state tracciate, in totale circa 15.000 chilometri. La bicicletta è quindi il mezzo per eccellenza per andare alla scoperta dellOlanda. SEGNALETICA Le piste ciclabili obbligatorie sono indicate da un panello rotondo e blu, con una bicicletta bianca. Le piste facoltative sono indicate con fietspad o rijwielpad. Piccoli panelli bianchi e dei pali a forma di fungo, che presentano una bicicletta rossa, indicano itinerari consigliati. Nellinteresse della sicurezza vostra e degli altri, la luce davanti e dietro e i riflettori sono obbligatori al buio. Ultimo consiglio: non dimenticate il campanello! CONSIGLI PRATTICI In Olanda si possono comprare mappe e itinerari per ciclisti negli Uffici del Turismo locali (VVV). Vi sono segnalate le strade minori, le piste ciclabili e tutti i villaggi (scala 1: 100.000). Importante: non allontanatevi mai dalla vostra bicicletta senza chiudere il lucchetto, anche se dovette fare solo pochi passi. Nelle grandi città ci sono parcheggi sorvegliati per biciclette, dove potete lasciare la vostra bicicletta in tutta tranquillità. NOLEGGIO DELLE BICICLETTE Più di 100 stazioni nei Paesi Bassi noleggiano biciclette per poco più di dieci fiorini al giorno, o poco più di 40 fiorini alla settimana. Si richiede sempre una cauzione e una carta didentità. Le biciclette devono essere riportate alla stazione di partenza. Pagando un supplemento si possono portare le biciclette sul treno, tranne nellorario di punta, cioè da lunedì a venerdì dalle ore 6.30 alle ore 9.00 e dalle ore 16.30 alle ore 18.00. I TOUR ORGANIZZATI Sono numerosi i Tour Operators che propongono viaggi in bicicletta. Naturalmente gli itinerari sono numerosi. Chi desidera vedere lOlanda dei tulipani, del formaggio e dei mulini, può scegliere uno dei viaggi che vengono proposti in primavera nella zona dei tulipani, con visite allasta dei fiori di Aalsmeer, il giardino dei tulipani Keukenhof e facendo delle soste in cittadine come Haarlem e Leiden. Naturalmente durante questi viaggi cè la possibilità di visitare le fattorie produttrici del formaggio e i mulini. noleggio bici dove dormire La rotta dei fiori LOlanda del Sud è il centro della coltivazione dei fiori da bulbo. In primavera, tutta la regione intorno a Leiden e Haarlem si trasforma in un immenso mosaico di colori. Unitinerario di circa 60 km vi permette di scoprire i principali centri della regione. Gli uffici del turismo locali vi sapranno dare indicazioni più dettagliate. OEGSTGEEST Questa località esiste dallinizio del Medioevo. Litinerario porta lungo il castello dOud Poelgeest, restaurato splendidamente e circondato da un fossato. RIJNSBURG Rijnsburg è, dopo Aalsmeer, il secondo centro della floricoltura olandese. Lasta dei fiori che si trova qui esiste da più di 75 anni. KATWIJK Da 'Katwijk aan de Oude Rijn' e il suo mulino 'De Gerechtigheid' (del 1740), arrivate a Katwijk aan Zee. Una volta era un pittoresco villaggio di pescatori, oggi è una stazione balneare per tutta la famiglia. NOORDWIJK Anche Noordwijk era in origine un villaggio di pescatori, oggi è una moderna stazione balneare. Lesposizione spaziale Space Expo merita sicuramente una visita. HILLEGOM Hillegom è circondata dai campi di fiori. Diverse imprese di esportazioni di bulbi che si trovano qui sono visitabili. Ad Hillegom si trova anche la più grande collezione privata di automobili Ford. LISSE Nel cuore della regione dei campi di fiori si trova il giardino Keukenhof, il giardino primaverile dellEuropa. Ogni anno dal terzo sabato di aprile il corso dei fiori attraversa Lisse. Per conoscere la storia della regione dei bulbi e la loro coltivazione visitate il museo 'De Zwarte Tulp'. SASSENHEIM Tutti i giorni, tra le ore 14.00 e le ore 17.00 potete visitare le rovine del castello Teylingen, anticamente costruito per difendere la strada che portava a Haarlem. WARMOND Famoso per il turismo balneare. A Warmond si trova la villa 'Huys te Warmond' con 22 ettari di terreno. LOlanda a piedi Gli itinerari per chi vuole farsi un bel giro a piedi in Olanda sono moltissimi. Ed ogni regione offre diverse possibilità. Qui ci limitiamo a parlare degli itinerari per i veri sportivi, cioè quelli a lunga distanza. Questi sono adatti al turista che vuole farsi un itinerario a piedi di più giorni (la distanza totale è di almeno 100 km). Sono contrassegnati con dei pali di legno con strisce bianche e rosse. Poi ci sono gli itinerari regionali di almeno 80 chilometri, contrassegnati con gli stessi pali, ma con le strisce gialle e rosse. Gli itinerari lunghi passano per i posti più belli dellOlanda: i boschi e le brughiere, i polder e le tenute. Seguono soprattutto i sentieri e le stradine, passando per i villaggi e le cittadine e vi portano alle pompe idrovore, le chiese e molto altro. In Olanda esistono circa 35 itinerari a lunga distanza, formati da sentieri e stradine, con una lunghezza totale di più di 6.000 chilometri, che possono essere collegati facilmente. Questo significa che se per esempio volete andare a piedi da Rotterdam a Maastricht, esistono più sentieri che rendono una tale gita possibile. Basta quindi scegliere la destinazione e il punto di partenza, e rivolgendovi poi agli uffici turistici locali troverete sicuramente un itinerario adatto. Alberghi Fattorie con poss. di alloggi Campeggi Ostelli per la gioventù É bello vivere a Maastricht Guardate la gente passeggiare nelle vie, chiacchierare ai tavolini dei caffè o dei ristoranti. La piazza del Vrijthof e le vie con il pavé che portano alla piazza, sono il centro dellattività di una città con una storia di prestigio. Chiese e musei testimoniano una lunga storia. MUSEI E MONUMENTI La città più antica dei Paesi Bassi, ha una storia ricca e conta numerosi monumenti. Ammirate le facciate delle case signorili e scoprite le 250 case che portano un bassorilievo in pietra. La basilica, Onze Lieve Vrouwebasiliek, che risale allanno 1000, e la basilica romanica St. Servaas con la sua cripta e il suo tesoro, meritano una visita. Il museo Bonnefanten, ad opera del famoso architetto italiano Aldo Rossi, ospita una collezione di arte antica e contemporanea. UNA CITTA CULINARIA Per quanto riguarda le qualità culinarie, Maastricht merita sicuramente il titolo di capitale dei Paesi Bassi. Sono numerosi i ristoranti, i bistrot e i caffè animatissimi, che danno alla città il suo carattere meridionale. Si possono degustare delle birre eccellenti, ma guardate anche le colline nei dintorni, ci sono persino le vigne... La quattro giorni di Nijmegen La marcia internazionale 'Quattro Giorni di Nijmegen', è un evento podistico su più giorni unico al mondo. Ogni anno decine di migliaia di partecipanti si affrontano in questa particolarissima gara podistica. Grazie allufficio turistico VVV Rijk van Nijmegen è possibile anche per i turisti compiere il tragitto di questa marcia, ma con alcune facilitazioni. LA QUATTRO GIORNI DI NIJMEGEN Litinerario creato dallufficio del turismo di Nijmegen viene chiamato 'il giornaliero' (de alledaagse) e segue la traccia della 'quattro giorni di Nijmegen' officiale. La comodità è data dal fatto che si può decidere individualmente come modificarlo. Si determinanano in piena autonomia la distanza, il ritmo e quando camminare, nel frattempo si possono godere le bellezze della natura che Nijmegen ed i suoi dintorni offrono. UN RICORDO UNICO Per gli appassionati 'il giornaliero' offre anche la possibilità di portare a casa un ricordo particolare. Nel libretto degli itinerari si trova, oltre al materiale geografico, alle indicazioni sullitinerario e un compendio delle curiosità che sincontrano durante il viaggio, anche una tessera sulla quale si possono apporre appositi timbri nelle località attraversate durante il percorso. Quando la tessera presenta tutti i timbri, si può richiedere un certificato allufficio turistico VVV Rijk di Nijmegen. Holland Tulip Park Il 21 marzo 2003 nella località di Vogelenzang è stata inaugurata la nuova attrazione floreale Holland Tulip Park aperta per ben 26 settimane allanno. Su una superficie di 5000 m² si possono ammirare distese di fiori da bulbo, fiori annuali e piante perenni. Il parco ospita inoltre un museo con un esposizione ricca di colori accompagnata dalla storia delle zone dei fiori da bulbo De bollenstreek. Un grandissimo negozio con bulbi, sementi, piante perenni e souvenirs può soddisfare qualsiasi desiderio. Il parco sorge sul terreno su cui un tempo si trovava il giardino Frans Roozen. ORARI Holland Tulip Park è aperto al pubblico dal 22 marzo al 20 maggio 2004 tutti i giorni dalle 8 alle 18. Dal 21 maggio al 1 settembre 2004 tutti i giorni dalle 9 alle 17. |
