It is not only a national monument, but thanks to the revitalization this place will become the bustling heart of the centre. We are of course talking about WTC Rotterdam. The building at the top of the Koopgoot, along the Coolsingel, which you can recognize by the impressive entrance, such as the large square and the wide stairs

A place where the (inter)national business community comes together and where you will find various shops, eateries and other nice places. It may surprise you, but WTC Rotterdam is a place with some amazing hotspots.

Brasserie Jules

Let's start with this popular brasserie. It is the brother of the well-known Brasserie Pierre on the Pannekoekstraat and the successor of Staal. A beautiful place with a French touch. You can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner on the huge terrace or inside the beautiful restaurant. The best place to enjoy the sun, a glass of wine and some conviviality after work.

Vondelgym

You may not know it yet, but this special gym is located on the Meent side of the building. A gym with a unique concept: everything is located in one room.

In addition to regular training, you can attend group lessons, all in the same room. An explosion of energy! Choose a CrossFit, hot yoga or powerlifting class. There are no fewer than a hundred group lessons per week.
