Personal comments
When you are stuck at home on a Sunday afternoon, De Doelen is the best place to unwind and experience a good free jazz concert. Biking is also fund and the best park so far I've visited in Rotterdam is the one near the Euromast. It is also nice to have a beer or coffee at the cafes and bars near the Cubic Houses.
