the Rotterdam treasure hunt

I believe I can speak for all Rotterdames, when I say that this city is great for shopping. 
Whether its fruit and veg, a pair of jeans or spiky Lady Gaga heels, Rotterdam has it all!
Therefore this week my blog is devoted to a shopping special.

exploring The Big Malls
Rotterdam has several shopping sites, the biggest and most popular located on Beursplein, in the very heart of the city. However, two huge malls outside the city centre are great alternative for those on a tight budget! Zuidplein has student friendly prices, but requires quite a bike ride, to cross the Erasmusbrug, and enter the infamous south. Alexander is smaller, but closer to student areas, and also has a Primark, for nostalgic moments!

Stumbling upon a vintage stall!




€ 0.50 for a sweater, € 0.25 for a blouse, and a mere €3 for a second hand suitcase!
