This partially underground shopping gallery is one of the eyecatchers of Rotterdam!
The Beurstraverse Mall is also called the not so flattering ‘Koopgoot’ by the Dutch meaning ‘Shopping Gutter’. The Beurstraverse underpasses Rotterdam’s most expensive street called Coolsingel. The Koopgoot underground Mall connects the shopping streets Hoogstraat and Lijnbaan and can be entered through two long, wide and easy stairs on either side, some escalators and lifts. Koopgoot Rotterdam offers hassle free shopping without the busy traffic like at Coolsingel. In summer, children can have fun refreshment due to the ‘running’ water fountains that emerge from the ground at Koopgoot Rotterdam.
Some bigger stores have underground access to the Koopgoot Mall Rotterdam, such as the department stores Bijenkorf and V&D. Also the Rotterdam metro hub Beurs is directly located at the Koopgoot Mall.
There are all kinds of retailers at the Beurstraverse Mall, such as Douglas perfumery, personal care products at l’Occitane Rotterdam and many fashion shops like America Today, Lacoste, Esprit and Vanilia. If you are looking for a no nonsense department store with excellent value for money have a look at Hema. If you’re looking for a gift shop, don’t miss KKEC. The Belgian Chocolate at Leonidas can be a sweet gift as well. Some big flagship stores, such as Zara, Forever 21 and the Netherlands biggest H&M have have an entrance both at Beursplein (level 0) and at the Beurstraverse (level -1).
Summer sales at Koopgoot in Rotterdam normally start mid-June and winter sales at mid-december.
