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.

RAAF 'Raven' in Dutch and is short for Rotterdam-Art-Adventue-Food. RAAF is known as "The hotspot of Rotterdam South" and is located in an huge, old grain warehouse called The Maassilo. Every Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 till 18:00 people visit RAAF to enjoy (healthy) snacks and good local coffee. Have a seat in the giant ravensnest which is an artwork made by the world famous artist couple ‘Arno&Iris' (also known from the Markthal). On weekdays they host all kinds of business events and private parties with that special ‘vintage/industrial-vibe' all over!
