| The famous Cafe Timmer |
During my 2019 trip to the Netherlands, to stay in contact with the old world, family and friends. It was cold and sometimes wet weather, but I survived. I did walk a lot in Rotterdam. While walking over the
Oude Binneweg in Rotterdam (Netherlands) I noticed that a few of the old shops are still alive and kicking. So following are some photos of the Oude Binnenweg in Rotterdam. Like
Cafe Timmer (photo above) in a house build in 1870 and a cafe (tapperij) since 1875.

Fikkie, another famous Rotterdamer.
|
Fikkie (photo above) is a citizen of Rotterdam since 1993 and after running all over Rotterdam he ended here at the Oude Binnenweg. Fikkie is made by
Joeki Sumak from Budapest. Another old face of the Oude Binnenweg is
De Spijkermand (photo below), that opened its doors in 1928.

For knives, screws and nails you go top De Spijkermand

Another famous pub is Melief Bender
|
Cafe Melief Bender (photo above) opened its doors in 1876 as
Cafe du Lion d'or and is called
Melief Bender since 1932. But since 1973 not under family management & ownership.

Lets have a drink at De Vijgeboom
|
IJssalon Venezia (photo under) is under the family management of
Anita Dall’ Asta en Giuseppe Olivo since 1964. And bookshop
Van Gennep is already more as 40 years a place to go for book lovers.
 |
For the best ice cream you go to IJssalon Venezia.

 |
| And for the best books you go to Van Gennep of course |
