Feijenoord

城市概覽

Feijenoord, historically simply known as "Noord" or "Noort". Whereas this word nowadays means "North" in Dutch, the name is thought to be a bastardisation of "Den Oord", meaning the land outside of the dikes' protection. Feijenoord is, however, the northernmost tip of the southern bank of Rotterdam and a former island in the New Meuse river. Before Rotterdam's industrial sprawling, the island was home to the less-flattering services of Rotterdam, housing its pest house and gallows field. The island grew largely thanks to self-taught engineer Thomas Joannes Stieltjes sr. (1819 - 1878), who, after having served some 15 years in the Dutch army as a volunteer and eventual lieutenant in artillery was dishonourably (which in 1860 was revised to be honourably) discharged in 1849 after refusing to swear oath to the new king, offering to instead swear oath to the newly written 1848 constitution. Being fired from the army, he started working for the Overijssel Canal Company, going on to make a career as the technical advisor to the Rotterdamsche Handelsvereeniging (Rotterdam Trade Association). As a result, Stieltjes is seen as the architect of Rotterdam's southern harbours in Feijenoord. Feijenoord's industrial sprawl saw the addition of many harbours, the industrial function of which has almost completely disappeared:

Koningshaven (King's Harbour) between the Noordereiland and Feijenoord itself. Construction on the harbour started in 1868. Spanning across it today are the Hef (disused railway lifting bridge) and the Koninginnebrug (Queen's Bridge). Binnenhaven (Inner Harbour), dug between 1874 and 1878, being a branch off of the Koningshaven. Upon completion, the Binnenhaven was one of the most modern harbours of the Netherlands, being fitted with steam and hydraulic cranes from the start. Entrepothaven (Entrepôt or Transshipment Port Harbour) branching off of the Binnenhaven is a former goods surplus harbour, which nowadays serves as a marina. It was constructed during th

如何抵達

By car Feijenoord is served by two highways, both southbound. Access from the north means that you will have to use Rotterdam's motorway ring.

The A16 is a major southbound highway, connecting to Dordrecht, Breda and Antwerp. At Breda, this road connects to the A58, which in turn connects to the A2 (Maastricht, Liège) and A67 (from Venlo, Duisburg) near Eindhoven. Together, these roads connect much of North Brabant and Limburg. Additionally, the A16 also meets the A15 just south from Rotterdam, connecting to much of Gelderland. Northbound, the A16 meets the A20, A13 and A4, connecting to the rest of the country: From Amsterdam, use the A4, turn onto the A13 near Den Haag, turn onto the A20 (dir. Utrecht) once you're past Rotterdam-The Hague Airport, following this, turn onto the A16 after exit 15 (dir. Dordrecht). Exit 24 is located immediately after the bridge across the Nieuwe Maas. Note that starting in 2024, the A16 will have been continued to meet the A13, which means you can prevent a part of the ever-so-busy motorway ring of Rotterdam. The two highways will meet each other around the time you'd reach exit 11 (Rotterdam-The Hague Airport). From Utrecht, use the A12. Rotterdam should be signposted the entirety of the way, which brings you past Gouda, where you enter onto the A20, turning onto the A16 after exit 16 (dir. Dordrecht). You're now on the same bit of road as the directions from Amsterdam describe, meaning that your exit, 24, is waiting for you once you've crossed the Nieuwe Maas. The A29 is another major southbound highway, connecting to Bergen op Zoom and Antwerp. Heading north, this highway will bring you to the Vaanplein Interchange following the exit for Barendrecht. Take exit 19a, exiting the highway and following route S103 (Vaanplein). This road makes up part of the western border of Feijenoord. You get to the Kop van Zuid via the Strevelsweg, Dordtselaan and Maashaven Oostzijde, signposted as S122.

體驗活動

The main event space in Rotterdam is 1 Rotterdam Ahoy (Ahoyweg 10), which hosts some of Rotterdam's largest events, including: ABN AMBRO World Tennis Tournament (Rotterdam Open). Men's indoor tennis tournament taking place in early February. The Rotterdam Open is one of the largest (and typically the opening tournament) in the ATP Tour 500. (updated Feb 2022) North Sea Jazz Festival. On the second weekend of July. It began in The Hague, but since 2005 the festival has taken place in Ahoy. (updated Feb 2022) Premier League Darts. The Premier League Darts typically sees at least one round played in Ahoy, usually around the end of March. (updated Feb 2022) Six Days of Rotterdam (Wooning Zesdaagse). Since 1936, this six-day track cycling race has been held in Rotterdam almost 40 times. The event is typically held in December or January, and has, unsurprisingly, a slight track record for having at least one Dutchman finish on the podium. (updated Feb 2022) Vrienden van Amstel LIVE!. Usually in late January, Vrienden van Amstel is a Dutch series of concerts, sponsored by beer-brand Amstel. It is one of the largest indoor events of the Netherlands with over 100.000 attendees each year. The artists performing are some of the largest artists that the Netherlands has to offer, and though entirely Dutch-spoken, understanding the language isn't a requirement to have some fun. You'll want to bring some friends though - the event is difficult to enjoy if you're just partying on your own. (updated Feb 2022
