hi there, I hope you will have great fun in Rotterdam. I've got hotel and restaurant suggestions on my Rotterdam page in many price categories from hostel to grand.
As far as I know, Rotterdam doesn't have a typical beer of its own.
And I'm not a beerdrinker myself so can't advise you there.
There are restaurants and pubs all along the Witte de Withstraat, that's in the center of Rotterdam.
I always take my visitors to Hotel New York, that's a busy place with enormous style and unique location.

Well, here's my Rotterdam page:

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Hi,
I've got a page full of thing to see, do and eat in Rotterdam (I'm Rotterdam born). You should go to the Euromast (big towe with resaurant on top) and the Erasmusbrug (bridge nicknamed the swan)as those are important features of the Rotterdam skyline. If you're interested in the harbour, take the Speedo boat from the Erasmusbrug to get a tour.
Rotterdams city centre is very modern as it was bombed in the second world war. There are a lot of bars in the city centre, there's a lot of choice on Stadhuisplein (across the Coolsingel from the town hall). There are usually special beers on tap, but typical dutch beers (not Heineken) are Grolsch, Hertog Jan, Amstel and Hoegaerde Das (I could go on longer).
There are a lot of restaurants in the area around the Coolsingel and in most of them you can get a main course for €10-20. Just one thing you'll have to do: walk into a snackbar (place where they sell fried food), for instance on the saturday market or at central station. You'll have to order fries with mayonaisse and a kroket or frikadel (as strange as this may sound). This is very dutch.
Have fun!
