3. Het Scheepvaartkwartier (the Maritime Quarter) is a hidden gem outside the city center; a place that many Rotterdamers do not even know. Here you will experience the feeling of openness and spaciousness of this beautiful port city! From the banks of the Maas River, you can see the New York Hotel, Rotterdam Steam and Erasmusbrug.
