10 Nature & Parks in Rotterdam That You Shouldn't Miss
Holland's most modern city began as a fishing village in the 13th century. It was developing into an industrial and trading power when German bombers destroyed the city center and harbor in 1940. However, Rotterdam's unique architecture now brings many visitors to bike around this urbane, cosmopolitan city. Old Dutch-style houses can still be found in historic Delfshaven, from where the pilgrims set sail in 1620. Cultural offerings from summer's carnival to classical music give Amsterdam competition.

Trompenburg Gardens & Arboretum is the green pearl in the city of Rotterdam. Throughout the year admiring visitors come and enjoy exploring the gardens. Nature’s beauty changes magically with each new season. This former country estate covers 20 acres and boasts a magnificent collection of plants that includes very old beeches and oaks, 700 varieties of rhododendron, more than 100 varieties of holly, the Dutch National Collection of Hostas and countless others. Refreshments can be had on the sunny terrace at the entrance or in the cosy tea room in De Uithoek where they also serve lunch.

This is also Rotterdam! A beautiful and well maintained botanical paradise. It is accessible in a wheelchair and plenty of resting places. The tea room has a great menu and the food is surprisingly diverse and very good. The cakes are delicious!

We had a great time in this Zoo. We spend over 4 hours and didn't get to see it all. Naturally everyone has its favorites. We liked the gorillas that where inside with the warm weather and the hyenas chewing on bones. We went to see the feeding of the sharks and the tigers. Probably we, and most visitors, expected too much of it as the animals got bored soon so there was not much to see. Great lay out by continent so you have a great mix of different species (birds, mammals,...) in every continent. The food in the restaurant are typical dutch fast food options. I tried a 'broodje kroket' that really missed taste, with or without the accompanying sauce. Broodje Unox (hot dog) had the same problem. Perhaps best to take a picknick with you. Great bakeries (like Koekela) in Rotterdam. We came with an Uber from the centre for 7 euro which is cheaper than the 3,50 euro/person for a two hour ticket for the bus as you will take longer than two hours in the Zoo. Probably the same with a taxi.

Every big city has a park and like any other city Rotterdam has its own city park called "Het Park" In the spring/ summer season you will see a lot of people having a picknick or just lay down on the grass to enjoy the moment While in the fall/ winter time you see many people walking in the park with or without their dog(s) to get a breath of fresh air A good place to escape the city buzz and go back to nature ????
