Pen Sellers In Rotterdam

[Mister John]

I'm in Rotterdam for the week and would like to visit a pen shop on the journey. My ideal shop would be one that carried inexpensive Pelikan products, like the Pelikano, Style, and Gallery series. These are largely unavailable in the US. A visit to the Pelikan website turned up a shop, Karlier, at 120Meent, but sadly it seems to have recently gone out of business. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated!

Akkerman is in Den Haag - not too far away?

Good thought...thanks!

If you're up for an hour's train ride, you could go to Tilburg, home of La Couronne du Comte.

 

From the Rotterdam Centraal station, look for trains that go to Breda and the to Venlo (but please check with the railway folks, I am going by memory).

 

The store is close to the station. It has a sumptuous collection of pens and inks, and Dennis van de Graaf is fantastic to work with. Near the store is a nice pedestrian area with lots of shops/ restaurants, etc..
