The 500 Hidden Secrets of Rotterdam
Many of us would have travelled to places like China, Australia and parts of Southeast Asia. How about city less trodden like Rotterdam? In this compact 251-page guidebook, Saskia Naafs and Guido Van Eijck neatly lay out 500 best-kept secrets of Rotterdam for travellers to explore.
In it, the authors – natives of Rotterdam – draw up lists of destination spots with interesting details that few people might know about. For example, the Roof Park, which connects the Schiemond and Delfshaven neighbourhoods, is actually is 9 metres above street level. Homesick for Singapore food?
