About this audio guide
This guide to Witte de Withstraat in Rotterdam asks a simple nightlife question and follows how the street has answered it over the decades. It visits the years when this was the city's Fleet Street, with newspaper reporters and the locals who came to their café hoping to be heard, and the rougher decades that followed. Best heard on a terrace along the street on a weekend evening.
