From 3 to 5 June it's time for the Rotterdamse Dakendagen (Rotterdam Rooftop Days)! During this pleasant weekend you can visit more than 35 roofs. Read more about this weekend below and discover Rotterdam from a unique perspective!

Rotterdam Rooftop Routes, Tours and Specials

During the Rotterdamse Dakendagen there are various Rooftop Routes, Specials and Tours to follow. Go on a journey of discovery during a Rooftop Route, where you will encounter surprising festival programs on every roof, such as art or surprising ways to use roofs.

Would you like to learn more about the rooftops and the surroundings of the locations? Then a Tour is the way to go for you. Accompanied by a guide, you go on a cycling or walking tour and discover the stories behind the roofs. One of the tours that you can follow is, for example, 'Centre Secrets'. During this tour you will discover hidden roofs in Rotterdam Centre.

A Rotterdam Rooftop Days Special is a special event on a roof. For example, do you love yoga? Then follow one of the yoga classes on the roof of the Depot Boijmans van Beuningen, a great collaboration between Yogaground and Boijmans van Beuningen.

View all Rooftop Routes, Specials and Tours on the Rotterdamse Dakendagen website.

International Rooftop Knowledge Day

The annual International Rooftop Knowledge Day takes place on 3 June. The day program consists of three distinctive parts that can be followed both physically and online.

In the morning the programme will start with the Rotterdam Rooftop Walk. In the afternoon the participants go to one of the lunch workshops on various roofs in the city centre and in the afternoon there are sessions at Het Podium at the Nieuwe Instituut.

The International Rooftop Knowledge Day ends with networking, so that the participants can get to know each other better on a special rooftop location.

Tickets for the regular program are already sold out, but there are still tickets available for the online program.
