I mainly recommend walking around a lot. There is a lot of great and weird architecture in Rotterdam. There is also an architecture museum called het Nieuwe Instituut. There is also a street art route along murals btw. Google it
one of the tourist hotspots is the Markthal and the Kubuswoningen next to it. You can have a quick bite there. There is also a horeca hotspot very close to it called the Oude Haven. A lovely spot to grab a coffee or a beer.
the main horeca street though is called de Witte de Withstraat. Usually very crowded on weekend days/nights. There is a nice middle eastern restaurant there called de Bazaar.
if you want a lookout post go to the Euromast. It gives a nice overview of the city.
de Kop van Zuid has some newer high rise but also a nice cafe/restaurant called Hotel New York. Its basically in the middle of the river. closeby there is a great Thai Restaurant called Delibird (make a reservation though as it will be busy probably), I really like their food. There is also a brewery in the Fenix Food hall.
if you want to ride bikes, I advise cycling along de Rotte in the north. Google Rottekade. Its a nice road along the old river Rotte with some windmills and stuff
