Overview

This tour is part of a travel guide. Click to see all details and related tours.

The Coolsingel is the boulevard of Rotterdam, located in the Cool district. The street was recently renovated, mainly to improve traffic congestion and to serve pedestrians and bikes better. The new design gives the Coolsingel its appearance and allure back. Coolsingel is one of the best-known streets in central Rotterdam, stretching from the Hofplein to the Churchillplein.

The main attraction of Coolsingel is the Town Hall (Stadhuis). The building construction was completed in 1920, designed with a beautiful Duch Renaissance style. It’s somehow survived the WWII bombing. In order to see the well-decorated interior, you must book a guided tour through the city’s tourist office.
