As a native of The Hague, I’m often torn between Amsterdam and Rotterdam, but there’s something about Rotterdam’s vibe that keeps drawing me back.

Whenever people ask, I always recommend venturing beyond Amsterdam to discover cities like Rotterdam and The Hague — both are gems in their own right. This time, our stay was at The Usual Rotterdam, which I booked some time ago.

Though we ended up with a weekend of relentless rain (if only we could predict these things!), it didn’t dampen the experience entirely. The hotel lobby turned out to be a cozy refuge after braving a wet yet enjoyable walk down Witte de Withstraat, one of my favorite streets in Rotterdam, especially for vintage shopping.
