Museum voor het Kruideniersbedrijf
The Museum voor het Kruideniersbedrijf, a charming replica of an old grocery store, isn’t a museum per se. It’s more like a sweetshop with lovely ladies in old-fashioned aprons selling sweets and tea in decorative containers. Pick up a block of white liquorice candy to add to hot milk – an old Dutch tradition.

The Beurstraverse
Rotterdam's most recent shopping strip is known locally as Koopgoot, or The Shopping Ditch. With a futuristic design, this space perfectly complements the city's outlandish persona. It begins at Lijnbaan, passes under Coolsingel and finishes up in Hoogstraat.

The Lijnbaan
The Lijnbaan, lined with mainstream shops, was a trendsetter when it very gradually opened between 1951-66. It was the first car-free, pedestrianised shopping arcade and was copied worldwide. It is the heart of Rotterdam's shopping centre.
