Shopping streets Rotterdam

Well known shopping streets in Rotterdam are the Lijnbaan, the Hoogstraat, the Coolsingel with the city hall and the Weena, which runs from the Central Station to the Hofplein, the Beurstraverse, better known by the informal name 'Koopgoot' ('Buying/Shopping Gutter', after its low lying position, crossing Rotterdam's main street Coolsingel below street level) and the Bergsedorpsstraat in Hillegersberg.

Another prominent shopping centre, called Alexandrium (still called by its former name Oosterhof), lies in the east of Rotterdam. It includes a large kitchen and furniture centre.
