sub update New rule: No begging
Due to an influx of posts with sob stories basically (directly or indirectly) asking for money a new rule has been added to this subreddit: No begging.
These stories have been a plague lately, but the premise is usually a variation of "Have an urgent debt, haven't eaten in 7 days and tonight I'll be evicted" (anything to hint at 'giving me money will save me') or even directly asking for money.
While some stories might in fact be true and dire, there are some other places you can go for direct help:
- https://voedselbank.nl/hulp-nodig (food)
- https://www.rotterdam.nl/hulpteam-geldzaken (money problems)
- https://www.rotterdam.nl/dak-of-thuisloos (housing, eviction)
- Call the number 14010 (Rotterdam municipality)
- https://www.pauluskerkrotterdam.nl/ (food, shelter, medical)
Much appreciated is redditors reporting a post! We're not monitoring each post in realtime, so it helps when a post is reported (we'll get a notification).
What is still allowed is asking for where to get help (e.g. the foodbank or a municipal service).

RET Disruption
Guys today there was a disruption from Capelsebrug to Alexander with the metro. I heard rumours it is going to last the whole month... I cannot find any information about it and customer service is not helping either. Does anyone know more about this?

Is it true that there are some supermarkets or butchers selling ground beef for 5€ a kilo? My friend mention this but I don’t believe it since I’m paying 11,99 near me

Classic men's high-waisted trousers in Rotterdam (or other cities)
Hey there!
As a rotterdammer for the past three years, I am thoroughly enjoying this beautiful city!
I have been looking in the past for a place where I can find classic men's trousers, (not perse bespoke. I can make the investment from time to time but don't want to invest in a full bespoke wardrobe yet).
So Ideally I am looking for a place with off-shelf items that I can browse (I don't like buying these online).
When I talk about trousers, I mean high-waisted, classic trousers, which are not skinny and maintain their own shape. Let me show you with a few pictures below.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Much appreciated! 🙏🏻

hairdresser recommendation
Hello! I'm going to be in Rotterdam on September 6th for a dear friend's wedding but I desperately need a haircut!! I'm looking for someone who can do fades and knows how to cut curly hair. I have an overgrown mullet going on (I've been travelling for a couple weeks) and needs a good clean-up. Can be a barber or a hairdresser, doesn't matter to me!

Bike repair
My friend is giving me this bike and I think something is wrong with the gears? When I pedal it’s really stiff and jerky and I can’t adjust the gears at all. Do yall know how much it usually costs to get the gears fixed/replaced and whether I should just get a new second hand bike instead?
Also would like to know if there are good bike repair shops around west/south Rotterdam !

Bass player looking for a band!
Hi all,
I (M25) recently moved to Rotterdam, I play bass for fun and I'd love to join a band and play live! I've been part of a few bands over the years, playing cover gigs in bars and recording some original material too. I am particularly interested in playing rock/punk/metal because I love to jump around on stage, but I'm generally a huge music nerd and really into jazz, psychedelia, disco...
If you think we could be a match, hit me up!

Klopt het inderdaad dat er veel Amsterdammers naar Rotterdam verhuizen?
Enige tijd geleden is mij verteld dat er een behoorlijke stroom mensen van Amsterdam naar Rotterdam verhuist, omdat de huizenprijzen daar erg hoog zijn en de prijzen hier lager liggen. Vooral in de Willem Buytewechstraat zouden veel Amsterdammers wonen, zo is mij verteld. Klopt dat?

Huizenmarkt hier
In Rotterdam is de huizenmarkt niet zo vervelend als in andere steden. Ik kocht in mei 2024 een appartement in onze rotstad. En had onderboden.. 9k oid.
Als je dan nu van vrienden in Amsterdam hoort dat ze moeten overbieden.
