Sights of Rotterdam

The Park, Museum Park and Lake Kralingen are most interesting for the tourist. They are not that far from the city centre of Rotterdam and there are some restaurants. But if you have more time to spend then there are more parks to explore in Rotterdam, like the Prinsemolen Park, Park Rozenburg, the Roof Park, Vroesen Park, Zuider Park, Park Zestienhoven, Brienenoord Island and many more smaller parks.

There are also some gardens. Like Historical Park Schoonoord and botanical garden Arboretum Trompenburg. Arboretum Trompenburg is not freely accessible and charge an entry fee, but then you get a very beautiful park/garden in return.

Just outside Rotterdam there's recreation area Bergse Bos and Rottemeren. It's located between Rotterdam and Zevenhuizen/Bleiswijk. With a boat, bike or just walking you can follow the river Rotte to the Rottemeren. The park is also accessible by car and there are some parkings. (See the walk & bike route Prinsemolen Park to Rottemeren) In the Bergse Bos you find Outdoor Valley with outdoor activities like mountain biking, subbing, kayaking, climbing and abseiling. There's even an artificial ski slope for skiing, tubing and snowboarding.

Between Rotterdam and Delft you'll find the Ackerdijkse Plassen. Make a nice bicycle tour through this area from Rotterdam airport in the direction of Delft.

A nice day trip from Rotterdam is national park the Biesbosch. 30 minutes with car from Rotterdam but taking the Waterbus is the best option and you're allowed to take your bicycle with you.
