YES! It’s December and we love it. But it can be a stressful month with all the dinner parties, Christmas drinks and work obligations. That's why we have listed a number of activities where you can relax and escape the hustle and bustle (or enjoy the hustle and bustle 😉)

​Lichtjestour – Rotterdam 
Enjoy a special boat trip along the new terminal of Maasvlakte 2. It’s not just a boat trip, but you can admire all the sparkling lights and the biggest Christmas tree in Holland! A guide will lead you through the darkness and tell you all the facts. So sit back and enjoy the Lichtjestour!

From 20 November until 1 December you can enjoy the best documentaries during IDFA!  During this yearly film festival, you can watch over 300 creative and interactive documentaries and projects. But there is more! Around the films, there are performances, interviews and debates with the moviemakers, leading actors, and special guests. A view weeks ago the full program was published and that has shown us that there are more female filmmakers at IDFA 2019 than ever before! Also the variety of production countries is big. You can watch documentaries from Nigeria, Pakistan, Cuba, Azerbaijan, Latvia and many more. Check out here the full program an choose your favorite documentaries to watch!

It’s time for the seventh edition of Rotterdam Popweek! A week full of music, creativity, drinks and dancing. From the first until the tenth of November you can enjoy all kind of music like house, salsa, afro, disco, hiphop, techno and many more genres at more than 50 locations in Rotterdam! Our Cobana residents don’t need to go far, as also on Katendrecht you can enjoy the Popweek at Theater Walhalla and Kopi Soesoe. Check out the full program here and start calling your friends for a night out! 

We opened our first building in Rotterdam, so we thought it’s time to figure out where we can find the best burgers in town! Here are our 5 favorite places:

​Diego’s
Posthumanlaan 3
Diego’s is the place to be for our Cobana residents; it’s only 10 minutes’ walk! They have a variety of unique burgers. Try the Bugle Burger (yes, with the famous Bugle Cheese chips!) or the Black Cheeseburger. Not a meat lover? The Vegan Burger is a good option for you. End the meal with an Oreo brownie and you will leave happy and satisfied!
