We spent 3 full days exploring Rotterdam (including Kinderdijk!), wanting to understand whether it's underrated. How does it compare to Amsterdam? You'll have to watch to find out which one we prefer! We also visit Kinderdijk, where Bill finally gets to fly his drone!
THANKS FOR WATCHING!

You only scratched the surface of Rotterdam, there is so much more to see. Like the Boymans Van Beuningen museum, the Euromast , the Wilhelminapier area with Hotel New York, the Fenix Food Factory at Katendrecht and the boat tour of the modern harbour, but there is so much more

I guess we'll have to return!! We actually loved Rotterdam.

@davidlassor5380 Месяц назад

We loved your video. This is the way RU-vid videos on travel should be done. We will be traveling to the Netherlands this October and really couldn't decide whether to stay in Amsterdam or Rotterdam. Your video really helped us make our choice. It will be Rotterdam. Thank you so much.

@TalesFromOurPocket Месяц назад

Thank you so much!! ♥️ We hope you enjoy Rotterdam as much as we did. 😊

Thank you for sharing your travels! I would love if you started with the date and weather. Also, I haven't seen anything about where you stay and how you traveled to each place. Lots of food! I'm not as adventurous as y'all, but I love hearing the descriptions. Thanks again.

And my first appartement I bought a couple of doors further down the road from where kapsalon was invented. That was in 1989. I know Delfshaven very well. Bring Americans there, since the Pilgrim fathers departed there, heading towards England to board the Mayflower.

At a lot railway stations in NL you can hire the OV-fiets. It is not expensive and makes you more flexible in (or just outside) cities!

As a tourist in Rotterdam on a bad weather day, try a Metro round trip; check out the subway stations that look interesting and just skip the uninteresting ones. Trust me, quite a few subway stations are well worth a look.

@richardsoane6192 Год назад

Great to see you back again as enjoyed your past vlogs big time as so laid back. Do I detect a nod to your friend Tia from One Pack Wanders the human ruler ?

@TalesFromOurPocket Год назад

Yes, you correctly detected a nod to Tia! 😁😁 Good catch!

@buncharted Год назад

how dare you come to rotterdam and not say hi 😄 you went deep - love that you tried indonesian food here... and kapsalon! 🤤

@TalesFromOurPocket Год назад

That kapsalon was so unique and delicious! We'll definitely give you a heads up next time!

The prizes are very spicy haha greetz from a carpenter from Breda who helped rebuild the center of Rotterdam for 30 years

@TalesFromOurPocket 8 месяцев назад

Hi, carpenter! We are a big fan of your work in Rotterdam. 😁😊 (we really loved visiting there - so truly, thank you for your work!)

Instead of Amsterdam, go to Utrecht, Groningen and Maastricht. Also you can look into the "'Hanzesteden"' Search for Dutch Hanzesteden.

@TalesFromOurPocket Год назад

We love Utrecht! One of the best train museums we've ever been to. The Hanseatic dutch cities look beautiful! Definitely adding them to a list to visit. Thanks!!

Rotterdam is very Nice. Not All the buzz that Amsterdam has, but relaxed. Still many interesting things to do

Rotterdam may be a little underrated because of its reputation and -- for Dutch standards -- high crime rate but it definitely isn't one of the best cities here, in my opinion. And I live there. The city itself has its charms but personally I don't like the design choices... Especially the way old architecture is mixed with new like over on Kop van Zuid and Blaak. It often times obstructs (or detracts from) the view on more classic landmarks. It's all over the place. You can't deny the city is a unique one, though. But I feel Amsterdam, Utrecht, Haarlem, Leiden among other smaller towns all rank above Rotterdam in that they are more appealing to the eye. I will say though, Delfshaven is a hidden gem that is often overlooked by tourists. It actually used to be part of Delft back in the Dutch Golden Age.

@rmyikzelf5604 4 месяца назад

Go to Dordrecht.

@Haroekoe 5 месяцев назад

You ate kapsalon five minutes walk away from my home. Bonne appetite 👌🏽

@podunkman2709 Месяц назад

This just kebab not any "kapsalom". Like all dutch "kitchen".

There are other old areas in Rotterdam, like the old North, Kralingen, Scheepvaartskwartier, large parts of Rotterdam West that were not bombed as well. Only the centre was pretty much bombed. Downtown Rotterdam centre prior to the bombing on May 14th 1940, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bbc_SYVB56c.html.

Regarding Indonesian food. The best places to go for Indonesian food are The Hague, Voorburg and Rijswijk (in that order). Although there are a lot very fine Indonesian restaurants (or better: toko’s) in the Netherlands, the best are in the above. There is even a Toko top-50. So maybe for your next trip visit The Hague 😊

When I first saw your reaction to eating something you obviously didn't like in the start of the video, I assumed you were eating herring from a street vendor. I've never seen anyone react like that to bitterballen/kroketten. Try it with mayo next time instead of mustard.

@spoonwinnipeg2021 8 месяцев назад

ps: Great video. Worth a follow. Thanks for making me homesick. :)

In Amsterdam the crowds don't visit the canals that are very historic and filled with 17th century houses and gardens as well if one should walk further-on. (Amsterdam has about 90 MILES of historic canals and 1500 bridges.) Tourists just cross the canals for the 'highlights'. Amsterdam has the biggest 17th century innertown in the world. a paradise for historians. 19th-century renewals of almost every European capital skipped Amsterdam because it simply became poor and the fact that the Netherlands had no king (first republic as a federal nation, before France and then the U.S.) thus no 'grandeur', left old cities as they still can be found through-out the land with many medieval buildings, castels and churches. Rotterdam was whiped-out by the nazi's in may 1940. So you can tell it had to rebuilt the city-centre by scratch. But often aestheticly pleasing. If you like urban-planning as it has become in the last decade or so. Nice to watch this vid !! 🌹💕

Kinderdijk has nothing to do with Rotterdam, its a part of Molenlanden a different area. The ugly thing about the low beautyful vallaeys is the ugly buildings of Rotterdam in the Horizon
