A dish-washer with an entrepreneurial mindset decided to open his own restaurant and borrowed money from his boss. Now Bazaar is a fun place to eat at, with affordable dishes and a nice middle-eastern atmosphere. The place also serves as a hotel where each room is unique and different from the others. Located on Witte de Wittstraat, Rotterdam.

My home town .The place where i'm born and raised .. Good for culture and shopping . Watch out for Pick pockets .

Go to Use-it for the best tips about Rotterdam, it is a tourist information center for the backpacker who wants to discover this interesting City. You can find Use-it close by the train station. They have also a good website

Bazar Witte de Withstraat 16 a nice hotel and also a good restaurant! the people who work there are realy nice.

I was there at the Rotterdam Ahoy Hall... It`s a great Place for Concerts... The Accoustic is very good in there! A lot Coffeshops but really strange People! But the Buildings there are great! A combination of old and new Buildings... Really cool! ;-)

Hotel Bazaar!! Supercozy and unique hotel in the center of Rotterdam... especially the african room...

Rottendam is easy to access by train. Hotels are in the city centre and around the train station. We found the Hilton Hotel was the best price, best location in the city mall area next to restaurants and shops. The needle down near the biggest shipping harbour in the world was offers an interesting view. Only stayed one night but saw enough. Clean city and seemed quiet safe as well.

Here's a long list of what to do in Rotterdam which was my hometown for 8 years.
-Motel Mozaïque: is a nice multi-discipline festival to go to in april.
-Worm: is a great location to see experimental music concerts and the building is special for it's totally recycled interior.
-the Urban Espresso Bar: has the best coffee and downstairs a very nice gallery also in the surrounding streets, you can find original shops and on thursdays the market
-Go see de Jeff Wall sculpture at the: Kop van Zuid, if you want to cross the river in an alternative way (then simply by bike over the Erasmus bridge) you van take a watertaxi.
-Visit the International Filmfestival Rotterdam in the beginning of februari!
-Go with the pancakeboat across the river Maas while eating pancakes
-Go with archiguides to learn and see about the architecture in Rotterdam
-Off-Corso, if you want to dance
-visit the parks (especially the not so famous parks, but the surprising bit of green): -Slotvijver
-Berg en Broekpark
-Park Rozenburg
and the Famous parks: -Kralingse Bos
-Museumpark
-Euromast park
and the specialty search by bike (in Rotterdam Zuid) the: Brienenoord Island, it's diffficult to find but special and there's a great skyline view of the city.
-Well the musea and gallerys speak for themselves but also visit the: van Nelle factory and the Sonneveld house or Chabot museum if you are interested in architecture
Then go for a coffee at cafe Dudok (also architecture by dudok)
-in September the Rotterdamse Kunsten festival (R-festival) and the World of Witte de With
-And every 2 years the DEAF festival (ElectronicArt) and more festivals: Poetry international / Metropolis (for free, pop music) / Dunya (for free, world music) / the day of Romantic music.
-For energetic people: bike through harbour sites such as
Schiehaven+Parhaven (then take the Maastunnel which a happening on it's own) to Maashaven+Rijnhaven/ Nassauhaven+Persoonshaven/Entrepotdok/Heijplaat+Pernis...but you have to like old industry views and buildings for that because it's beauty in a different way.
- In summer beside the Erasmus bridge they always have the Beach at the Maas (they create a beach there)

Visit de Witte de Withstraat for good restaurants and galleries

Wonderful Waterways and the largest Sea Harbour in the world. Moderate climate.
