Katendrecht is a trendy and upcoming neighborhood in Rotterdam. Just a short walk from the city center, Katendrecht is filled with cute restaurants, cozy bars, and quirky shops. The area is a former village located in the south of Rotterdam between Rijnhaven and Maashaven. Katendrecht used to be famous as a red-light district, with entertainment for sailors and lots of immigrants and prostitutes. After some developments, within just a few years, Katendrecht developed into a thriving area.
The neighborhood, also known as De Kaap, is now one of the most trendy and lively places in Rotterdam. You find many local restaurants, bars, and ice cream shops in the streets of Katendrecht. A must-visit is the Fenix Food Factory, a market with fresh and locally produced products such as Rotterdam cheese, bread, and beers.
