Usually, people come here with a goal of consuming something of high quality, with class and style. The people living above the boutiques and cafeterias, however, call it their home. There are plenty of offices in these buildings, so a vast number of people come here to work, as well.
As you walk in from the Mere boulevard, don’t be confused by the last bits of urban decay and the parking lot -- Just enjoy the view of the last empty and unrenovated 19th-century limestone buildings. In doing this, the contrast with the rest of the Rotermann will be especially baffling.
Rotermann’s heart can be found in its main square, surrounded by cafeterias, restaurants, boutiques, and shops. There is even a sports club hidden somewhere, as well. Ever hear of a 15-minute city? Well, this is more like a 5-minute town! If you can afford to live here, you'll get acquainted with all of these spots rather quickly.

Small and compact, it doesn't take very long to walk through Rotermann. Due to its large concentration of very different dining and drinking hotspots, it will still take several nights and visits to explore.
