I am a student and will be working in Rotterdam for the summer. I have know idea what I am getting myself into. How easy is it to get around without a car?

I live in the United States and would like to buy my daughter a gift card from Donners. She lives in Rotterdam. How do I purchase a gift card?

I would like any tips for any interesting places to visit that are no more than a 1 hour drive from the Rotterdam Europort. We will be going to Barendrecht first then after that we can do as we please.

We hope to arrive at Europort Thursday morning but as it's just a daytrip we have to be back on the ferry that evening. We are taking the car so that makes travelling easier :-)

Thanks for any information

Can you take a tour of the stormvloedkering or the surrounding area. Does anyone have any additional information of a website?


Thank you.

Sorry, I wrote that question wrong! We're staying at Eden Savoy (Hoogstraat 81) and want to know if this is a safe area and if there are any pubs/restaurants within walking distance.

And also how to get back from Ahoy in the middle of the night.

Thanks

My son is planning to work an internship in Rotterdam and I have some questions. I don't think his health insurance plan in the U.S. covers him in Rotterdam. How does one go about getting insurance for a 6 months stay?
Approximately what does housing cost if he lives with a roommate? Is it hard to find a roommate since he doesn't know anyone there?
Thank you.

Hey,

Just wondered whether any of the strip clubs in Rotterdam require you to give your passport and mobile numbers at the door,and if so whether it is then made available to the stripers?

Thanks for your help in advance.

I have been living in R'dam and i was in love with a kind of bags. They are like canvas for the rain, oldfashoned, like used, and about 139 euros. I want to buy one by internet, but i can not remenber the bran... I know you can find them in "go on" shop, in oude binnenwerg, Rīdam.

Some one knows the brand I mean or where to buy them???

Thanks very much.

I'm coming all the way from hot Israel to visit a friend in Rotterdam (for the first time in my life) and i'm clueless as to what cloths should i pack? 18 degrees can mean allot of things..
Is it short T shirts? Long sleeves? Light tops? Heavy Coat?

Are the STAYOK hostels really the cheapest that there is to offer? I know there are lots of places which do not probably have a website and its a case of something across them accidentally, but I don't think 25 euros per bed in a dorm is particularly cheap?

If anyone knows of any others please let me know. My boyfriend will be there as of Mon next week.

Thankyou VTers!!!

We are due to arrive in Rotterdam on a cruise ship in September. Is there are rail or bas service to Amsterdam? If so do you know where I might find a time table?

HI all. Got back to India after a month in Rotterdam with a two-day break in Istanbul. The people in Rotterdam are really friendly and I felt really welcome and comfortable. (Give or take a coulpe of people who are either suspicious of foreigners or just didnt like my face) I wish to thank VT member ATCL for showing me around the city and for her guidance on places to visit in Antwerp.
Maybe it's my big Kashmiri nose or the Turkish suntan or my mustache but I was mistaken for a turk by everyone in Istanbul!
The book I went to work on in Rotterdam is progressing well. I intend to put in a page or two about Rotterdam and I would like to know if any of you would like to help me with information on Holland in general and Rotterdam in particular. Although I have a lot of travel brochures from the VVV it still helps to have local people to confirm the information. Please reply to this and I will e-mail parts of the manuscript
