The 500 Hidden Secrets of Rotterdam is a guide to the city's hidden gems. It takes you off the beaten track to discover the city's turbulent history, its modern architecture, its little-known museums, the best restaurants and the coolest clubs. True locals Saskia Naafs & Guido van Eijck selected 500 addresses and facts about Rotterdam that few people know and presents them in lists of 5, alongside beautiful photographs. Guido and Saskia's favourite addresses include a former harbour warehouse turned daily fresh market where you can sample a perfect locally roasted coffee or a homemade cider, a bright-red light-vessel ship where you can attend an intimate concert, or a former subtropical swimming paradise where you can grow your own oyster mushrooms.
