Combine Your Walk with Markthal and Oude Haven

Categories: Traveling | Dining

The Cube Houses function as an elevated pedestrian bridge crossing the busy Overblaak artery, connecting modern urban development with Rotterdam's historic port. Rather than treating the cubes as an isolated stop, incorporate them into a seamless architectural loop.

Begin at the dramatic arch of the Markthal for lunch or Dutch snacks, cross directly through the forest of Cube Houses via the pedestrian walkway, and emerge at the historic Oude Haven (Old Harbour). The water-facing terraces at the Old Harbour provide classic waterfront seating with unobstructed vantage points back toward Blom's tilting roofs.
