See Rotterdam differently - camera in hand, coffee along the way ☕

Join Velvet Hours x Rotterdam Coffee Fest for a relaxed urban photowalk exploring the city through atmosphere, light, details and everyday moments.

Not only will you get to meet and mingle over shared interests of coffee and photography, but also see Rotterdam through the guided lens of one of our most beloved urban photographers, Nadiya (@nadsflavors).

This year RCF is broadening its program of events, including how coffee shapes connections formed among Rotterdam's iconic sights.

Together we'll wander through the bustling heart of Rotterdam, looking beyond the obvious sights to find the little things that make the city feel like itself - from architecture and reflections to passing moments, textures and (of course!) a cozy coffee break sponsored by Bonza, one of Rotterdam's iconic coffee places 👀

This walk is an invitation to slow down, observe and get a little more curious about the city around you.

We'll explore:

• Finding interesting moments in everyday scenes

• Playing with composition, light and perspective

• Capturing the mood and feel of a place, not just the landmark

• Seeing familiar streets with fresh eyes

• Connecting over photography, coffee and Rotterdam

No professional camera needed. Bring whatever you like to shoot with (phone, favorite camera, a disposable mini - the choice is yours). Be ready to get in those steps, photograph, chat and explore.

Expect a scenic route, creative prompts, photography tips, good conversations and a little caffeine along the way ☕

Note: there will be 2 photowalks hosted by Nadiya on November 5th. In case you can't make it to this one at 13:30, check out the other walk planned earlier the same day.

A Rotterdam Coffee Fest ticket is not required to join this event.
