Beautifully renovated train station. It also has stops for Metro, tram and bus connectivity. There are few shops as well for shopping. You cannot enter the main station without ticket as its required to open the gate.

Space 101 •••••••••••• Chinese New Year was in Wednesday 29 January 2025. There is a new store open till Sunday 2 feb 2025. So 2 days then it ends here. Its open from 10.00 till 15.00 o'clock. The store Space 101 has several has tables representing the artists such as knotted bracelets, printed clothing items and handmade bags, several stationary illustration artists, an asian bookstore and more ... Free advertisements (pamflets/folders) you are allowed to take from the table of : Vietnamese jewelry workshop (making charms bracelets), Asian theater shows, anti racism against Asian, a book release and several more. Free stickers available too ; amongst is Asian Raisins. The most fun are the handmade items for sale by several artists. I call them artists, but its more like a specialists. One sweet lady sows fabrics, its different items each time. Another young lady writes your name fonetically into Chinese or she can write you one Chinese character in calligraphy. I saw beautiful handmade bags, printed items, a new game, stickers and postcard for sale. 😉 It was hard to choose from. Just take your time 🤣, the store closes at 15 o'clock. In an another corner a table filled with items from Krokantman, graphic illustrationist, made several prints, posters, stickers, postcards, zines and more for sale. Next another table has anti racism items. To highlight there is a social problem where people look away mostly, needs to converse about to create understanding and awareness. Next a wired rack with fuzzy cutted handmade paper characters. Its Chinese Art. Several handmade bags for sale too. Remember for sale, not on sale. There is a difference 😉. And my favorite corner across from Krokantman is lilalicreates. She has several stickers ✓ galaxy jar cats - astrology themed ✓ year of the Snake collection Also in postcards There is a clear transparant lucky bag sticker you can attach to any window as decorations to celebrate Chinese New Year. Next table decorated with several threaded knot bracelets. Its also a famous Chinese Art. Some knots has meaning and several knots has names. Next is not a table but two bookshelfs with Asian books. The books are presented to look in and you can buy one or several books. I saw a mixture of books : a cookbook, childrens books, a historical book and many more They come from a Bookstore in Rotterdam. Long business card is included on the shelves to take with you if you are interested in other themes. Payments for items is only by contactless payment. You can pay with paper money and coins : Pay Appropriately (Gepast betalen). Why ?!? She has no cash register. It better to pay by Debetcard or Creditcard. Then she asks if you want physical paper receipt of receipt by email (digital). I enjoyed myself and learned from some people working there. They are friendly, really nice and patient. You can ask her/them questions. 😃 I have a Scoop, no one knows about it. 🤫🤫🤫 One week after 2 February 2025 same temporary store Space 101 opens a pop-up location for several months a few streets further on West Kruiskade 30 B, Rotterdam. Its smack beginning of Chinatown Centre. The former store was Cong's Palace, this store stood empty 5-8 years. This week the contractor and house builders need to renovate this store especially for Space 101. I do not know if they carry on the same name Space 101. So back to Space 101, location inside Central Station Rotterdam ; From outside you can window shop. The shop windows are fully decorated. When you enter Central Station Rotterdam you walk left through the check in portals, still walk left side you pass the store Hema. Space 101 is right next Hema. Hard to miss Space 101, because of the red dragon on the glass window 😀. Anyone interested, just for a visit ?!?

Beautifully renovated train station. Because it’s in the center there’s no real car parking. But metro, tram and bus connections are good. It’s got nice shops, but be careful, the flower-shop closes early.

The architecture is brilliant and the services are excellent. Announcements are made in both Dutch & English. There were a few disruptions on the day we were travelling from Rotterdam to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and there were a few cancellations. So plan accordingly.
