 The tram dropped us off at the Central Station, where we switched trams and after a short ride we found ourselves on the Coolsingel, in front of the Rotterdam City Hall. The Coolsingel is a broad avenue, with very wide sidewalks and a right of way in the center for trams. One can cross it via the pedestrian crossings, of course, but, why do so, when one can go underneath it, using a sunken shopping street called the Koopgoot ?( the Shopping Gutter ) It is lined with shops, boutiques and restaurants. |
