Beest Boulders Rotterdam
Bouldering with rotterdam skyline
Blanca from Rotterdam
Beest boulders is located in the David Lloyd sports facility building and has over 220 different boulders spread over 4 floors. What I love about this location compared to others is definitely its views of the Rotterdam skyline. Especially at sunset, when the city glows and you’re mid-route on a wall, it feels like you’re part of the skyline yourself. The space is massive, which makes a big difference when climbing. There’s a great mix of routes for all levels, so whether you’re a total beginner or an advanced climber, there’s always a good level for you.
There is also a great cafe where you can just grab a drink or snack and meet new people. What makes Beest Boulders stand out, though, is the atmosphere. It’s social but chill, and there’s no pressure to be “good.” People help each other out with tips, and the staff are friendly and approachable. It's also open until 23:00, so you have so much time to try out all four floors.

Sajoer Cafe
Fresh juice and healthy breakfast
"Sajoer Cafe" in Rotterdam is great for having a break from sight-seeing. I always go there on Saturdays after yoga for a chai latte & a mangolicious bowl.

Boguette
Vietnamese deliciousness
"Boguette" is my prime spot to recuperate so I can continue exploring Rotterdam. This café/snack bar is known for its bubble tea and Vietnamese baguettes.

The Sue Store (SUE)
Gluten-free vegan bliss
I personally love the tiramisu, rocky road, lavender lemon, and the very berry. The double choco cookie regularly finds its way to my bag as well...

Freddy's Comfort Food
Southern Comfort
Freddy does things to chicken in an OG southern US way that is rarely done well. They have crunchy and juicy chicken, but even more, they have pazazz.
