I was walking outside of the metro station in Coolhaven when I accidentally walked through this park and was completely surprised by the beautiful nature, the long lawns and the newly planted trees. I’d never seen this place before, as the whole area was under renovation. However, now, this park has become a new local favourite for the people of Rotterdam as one of the best hangout spots. Fancy a nice picnic on the water? Some drinks and food, perhaps even dip your feet in the refreshing water for a bit? Well then, head to Tuschinskipark now, and you won’t regret it.

To make it even better, right on the street behind the park, you’ll find a couple of restaurants and cafes where you grab a snack or a drink, and I never say no to iced coffee.
