Maritime District
Glashaven is located excellent in the heart of the city. Between the Boompjes with its impressive skyline and the bustling center lies an area that still feels undiscovered, but has developed into one of the best places to live in Rotterdam over the past decade.
Glashaven is located in a special part of Rotterdam that is secluded from the hustle and bustle, but still has the liveliness of a metropolis in its vicinity. Surrounded by water, old ports, the Maas and various quays, the Maritime District still has that authentic atmosphere that belongs to a real port city.
Running along the Nieuwe Maas, a quick shopping afternoon or an extensive brunch on Sunday morning? It’s all a stone’s throw away from Glashaven. Just north of Glashaven, a few minutes by foot, is the center of Rotterdam with the best shops, restaurants and nightlife. For example, the Coolsingel with the Bijenkorf and the Koopgoot are no more then a ten minute walk from Glashaven. Just like the Meent with its bustling eateries and terraces. All museums and cultural centers such as the Kunsthal and Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen can also be reached on foot from Glashaven, as is the Witte de Withstraat, with the best nightlife in Rotterdam.
