Stroll along the canals in these peaceful streets! Admire the old boats and, most importantly, visit the yellow cube-shaped houses (no entrance fee).

This part of the city is quiet, with a special charm. You must visit the "Historisch Delfshaven" if you are in Rotterdam! It's a neighborhood with historic houses and a windmill.
