Schouwburgplein Rotterdam
I have shortly mentioned the Schouwburgplein on my blog before, but when I needed to wait for someone for dinner in the area, I took the opportunity to take more pictures to show you.
Right underneath the Schouwburgplein, is a large underground parking lot (in dutch: Parkeergarage). You can see the entrance/exit in the picture above. In the right upper corner, you can also see the top part of the Marriott hotel Rotterdam.
Before, I had eaten at the Schipper potato fries stand and the Bagels and Beans, which are in close vicinity too.
Special temporary projects and events
Over the summer, these colorful yellow, orange, and white lounge chairs and large white tent were placed on the Schouwburgplein for people to relax outdoors, when it is too hot to stay cooped up at home. Before, there was a large baby art object on this square. For a period of time, there was also an outdoor yoga event every Sunday morning.Calypso building
From the Schouwburgplein, you can also get a good view of the Calypso building with its geometrical, metallic shapes and bright red accents. It was designed by William Alsop.Right underneath the Schouwburgplein, is a large underground parking lot (in dutch: Parkeergarage). You can see the entrance/exit in the picture above.
