Oude Westen, Rotterdam: Things to Do & Map

Rotterdam's multicultural inner-west district, wedged between the central station and West-Kruiskade. Chinese, Surinamese, and Cape Verdean restaurants line the main street, while the Wijkpark and independent theaters soften a dense quarter whose prewar blocks survived beside the city's most futuristic center.
