About Centrum

Centrum is the vibrant, bustling core of Rotterdam, rebuilt after the Second World War into a showcase of daring modern architecture. The Markthal, the iconic Cube Houses and a forest of residential towers sit alongside the Lijnbaan, Europe's oldest purpose-built pedestrian shopping street. With Rotterdam Central Station at its edge and metro lines A through E converging on Beurs, Blaak and Eendrachtsplein, no part of the city is better connected. This is the place to live for those who want everything on the doorstep. The Cool District alone has around 40 bars and clubs, making it the busiest nightlife and arts quarter in the city, while the dining scene runs from the food stalls of the Markthal to fine dining and international cuisine. Housing ranges from sleek new-build apartments to converted offices and a handful of historic buildings around the Oude Haven, and prices sit at the top of the Rotterdam range, reflecting the unbeatable central location.
