Hoogstraat

Hoogstraat Rotterdam: great shopping street!

Hoogstraat Rotterdam (means High street) is a kind of messy, but one of the main shopping streets in Rotterdam city centre. Hoogstraat connects the Koopgoot shopping street with the Binnenrotte, where Rotterdam’s biggest market and the huge Rotterdam Market Hall are located.

Shopping at Rotterdam Hoogstraat

The Hoogstraat shopping tour starts at the big market square called Binnenrotte, close to Blaak railway station. Next to Rotterdam’s library you can drink Rotterdam’s award winning cup of coffee at Bagels and Beans (Hoogstraat 129b). You have to cross the Rotterdam market square and keep the Market Hall of Rotterdam on your left hand side. A little bit futher down Hoogstraat Rotterdam you will find a number of jewellers and tasty Surinamese sandwiches at Chinny. Opposite to Chinny (next to drugstore Kruidvat) you can walk to the Grotekerkplein to the Kids Marina, a nice attraction for kids during shopping in Rotterdam!
