Fodor's Expert Review Delfshaven

Rotterdam

The last remaining nook of old Rotterdam is this old port area, reconstructed to appear just as it was when originally built—an open-air museum with rows of gabled houses lining the waterfront, trendy galleries, cafés, and restaurants. Walk along the Voorhaven, Achterhaven, and neighboring Piet Heynplein and marvel at the many historic buildings. For sights in the environs, check out the working mill of Korenmolen de Distilleerketel (open Wednesday and Saturday, group visits only) and the Oudekerk/Pilgrimvaders Kerk. Tram No. 4 connects Delfshaven with the rest of the city, as does the nearby Delfshaven metro station.
