What's open on King's Day in Rotterdam?
King's Day (Koningsdag) shuts down banks and government services nationwide, but supermarkets, hospitality and tourist venues largely stay open with reduced hours. City centres run vrijmarkt street markets. In Rotterdam, city-centre venues are most likely to deviate from national patterns — check individual branches.
