Van Nelle Factory BV

I highly recommend taking the guided tour. It was an amazing experience. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage building. Our guide was a student in architecture and he enjoyed sharing all his knowledge about the factory and more. He shared with us info on architectural details used in the building which I thought was inspiring and mind blowing considering it was built in the 1920s. Before booking the guided tour, I didn’t expect to learn so much about this historical and important building and the brand and story behind it. The photos won’t mean anything until the tour is taken or unless there is already some knowledge on the Van Nelle Factory.

I visited Van Nelle factory on a tour. The building is a UNESCO heritage site, famous for its beautiful modern architecture. It is a bit obscure and off the beaten track as a tourist destination but definitely worth a visit if you are an achitecture/art fan. There is a nice view from the top floor on the surroundings, with Rotterdam skyscrapers in the distance. To my knowledge, it is open for tours only on week ends. English language tour was excellent, highly informative and brought the building to life. It should be booked in advance online. The factory is accessible from Rotterdam central by taxi ride (probably there is also a public transportation option but i am not sure).

Amazing building and a key visit in Rotterdam if you’re into modern architecture. You can park your car within the perimeter, enjoy the building from all angles and then go for the cafeteria where there is a small exhibit.

Lovely experiences. I highly recommend the Art Fairs in The Netherlands. Van Nelle Factory is a great place for events and conferences. PS: Before ending your visit, grab a homemade cider made right at Van Nelle Factory

Van Nelle Fabriek is a unique venue that beautifully blends historical charm with modern functionality. I recently had the pleasure of doing a photoshoot for Narbutas at the Design District Rotterdam, and really enjoyed my time exploring this huge venue. The venue's spacious and versatile layout made it easy to create a variety of stunning shots. As an event photographer I always appreciate making photoshoots in such spacious and light filled venues - makes my job more enjoyable for sure. And the pictures turned out great :)

Nice venue area in an old tabacco factory. Everything was good arranged. From food to the screens and sound.

It’s a beautiful world heritage building. You need to book in advance to visit the inside because there offices there. Otherwise you will end up wondering around from outside like me!

Visit only in the week end and need to be booked onlin, friendly guide good story about the building even tho it's all in a video they recommend to watch before coming there.
