Hoogstraat Rotterdam: great shopping street!
The Hoogstraat (means High street) is one of the main shopping streets in Rotterdam in city center. The Hoogstraat connects the Koopgoot shopping street with the Binnenrotte where Rotterdam's biggest market is located.

Shopping at Rotterdam Hoogstraat
Hoogstraat more or less starts at the big market square called Binnenrotte, close to Blaak railway station. Next to Rotterdam's library you can drink Rotterdam’s award winning cup of coffee at Bagels and Beans (Hoogstraat 129b). You have to cross the Binnenrotte to walk to part of the Hoogstraat with all the shops. On your left side you will see a big construction place where the new covered market hall of Rotterdam is being built. A little bit futher you will find a number of jewellers and tasty Surinamese sandwiches at Chinny. Opposite to Chinny(next to the Kruidvat drugstore) you can walk to the Grotekerksplein with the Oqium store that sells exclusive sneakers. On the Grotekerksplein you will also find the Kids Marina attraction; a nice break for kids while shopping! Back on the Hoogstreet there are a number of fashion shops like Jack & Jones, ONLY and Vero Moda. Opposite to Vero Moda you can taste the best fries of Rotterdam at Bram Ladage. Now walk along Hoogstraat to Invito (shoes), Sport 2000 (sports), McDonalds and Blokker. If you are looking for body care and health products have a look at De Tuinen (Hoogstraat 191).
