There is nothing better than a terrific beer, except one accompanied by top-notch food. And that's just what you'll find at Kaapse Maria.

A go-to for sourdough lovers. Centrally located, Bas Bakt sits just off the bustle of Witte de Withstraat. A favourite among locals, it serves not only delicious morning pastries, but also a vast selection of natural wines and sandwiches come lunchtime. Our tip: don’t miss the pastrami croissant, which makes a great brunch. 
 

We adore this arts institute for exhibitions, lectures and excellent presentations of research on architectural design and digital culture.

On a lot of the postcards you see of Rotterdam is this mirrored dome, also known as the Depot of the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen. It's easy to understand why the building has became an architectural icon, but even more so when you go inside. It's a remarkable feast for your eyes.
