ZigZagCity is a route through the city centre connecting a wide range of locations. Well-known squares, streets and buildings as well as hidden courtyards and alleyways. A range of activities will take place in the heart of Rotterdam during the first two weeks of the International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam.
HIDDEN LOCATIONS
The Lijnbaan area is internationally renowned as a highlight of the post-war reconstruction period. At the same time, there are many hidden locations in this area that are hardly ever used. ZigZagCity welcomes you to the beaten track but also invites you to explore the locations that often remain unnoticed. The programme of ZigZagCity is an alternative travel guide.
HISTORY AND FUTURE
This festival focuses on the history and the future of the Lijnbaan area with stories and journeys. Making use of the local features, visual artists and architects show the potential of these hidden places. A public garden is transformed into a lush oasis in the city, an alleyway is turned into a virtual nature trail and a courtyard becomes a DIY pavilion. While zigzagging through the city centre you will see Rotterdam like you’ve never seen it before.

| Not sure if this was part of Zig Zag city. It was a big, white inflatable structure in Schouwburgplein. Strange feeling to be in there! |
Plenty of things happening because of Zig Zag city until the 6th of May! Looking forward to finding out more hidden spots in the city center.
