Mouterbrug Rotterdam

Hangout spot

"Mouterbrug is a little floating deck in a canal in Delfshaven, Rotterdam. There's lots to explore around, and the neighborhood shared garden is here, too!"

Are you exploring the area of Historic Delfshaven on foot? The area is absolutely gorgeous, and there's a lot to see and explore. However, if you get tired and would like to sit down and enjoy the scenery, I have the perfect spot recommendation for you!

This little floating deck on the canal is super charming, and it is on the main street of historic Delfshaven, surrounded by the old marina, and if you look straight ahead, you can see the historic windmill.

There are a lot of restaurants, cafes, and bars around you where you can grab a nice warm cup of coffee or a snack. Then you can head down to the floating deck, which has a couple of seating arrangements and have your coffee there while enjoying the breeze and the nice scenery around you.

This place is also a neighbourhood shared garden. A floating deck is one thing, but the floating plants are another. It's super cute and interesting to see what the residents of this neighbourhood are planting in such a unique way.
