Where to actually take her in Rotterdam

Rotterdam is compact, modern and surprisingly good for an evening: everything sits around the Maas and most hotels have a bar worth going to in its own right. The centre and Kop van Zuid are ten minutes apart, and the Witte de Withstraat is the only street where you should expect crowds late at night.

Hotels that do not make it awkward

The single most common way an evening goes wrong in Rotterdam is the front desk. Some houses charge a visitor fee, some ask for her passport, some simply do not allow a second person in the room after midnight. The houses below are the ones worth booking in this city - and because policies change with the season and the manager, the one question worth asking at reservation is whether a registered guest may come up to the room.

Bars for the first drink

Forty minutes in a bar before anything else is not a formality - it is how two adults find out whether the evening is worth having. Pick somewhere you can hear each other.

The areas, honestly

Every city has a district everyone names and a district where things actually happen. In Rotterdam they are not always the same place.

• Kop van Zuid Zuidquiet enough to talk · a view worth the first ten minutes · residential, private, nobody looks twice
• Witte de Withstraat Centrumthe nightlife spine of the city · busy and loud after midnight · open late
• Katendrecht Zuidresidential, private, nobody looks twice · quiet enough to talk
• Centrum Coolsingelwalkable to everything · busy and loud after midnight

Three things that cost nothing

• Be where you said you would be, at the time you said it. Punctuality reads as respect, and it is the cheapest respect there is.
• Settle the practical part at the start, once, and never bring it up again.
• Book the room in your own name and go up first. Never ask her to check in for you.
