Fit In
You won't look out of place in casual Rotterdam if you go to the opera in jeans, but neither will you if you wear evening dress – the choice is yours. If you want to get past the doorman, don't show up at the fanciest dance clubs in anything other than what's up-to-the-minute and fashionable.
