Traditionally, this neighborhood was seen as a bit secluded from the rest of the city because the river separated it. Nowadays, with good public transport connections and the famous Erasmus bridge, Rotterdam South is a divers and multicultural district where you can still catch a glimpse of the rich port history. It houses everything, from trendy bars to stunning architecture. Truly a rough diamond for those seeking the undiscovered.

Las Palmas – the former workshop building of the shipping company Holland America Line – now houses the Dutch Foto Museum. The museum focusses on all forms of photography and regularly displays its own productions. The museum is a source of inspiration, research, inspiring exhibitions and publications. Las Palmas also houses two other cultural organisations: LPII, a space for urban culture and SKVR Photography & Media, a public place for locals to explore their ambition in the areas of photography, video and digital media.
