Kralingen-Crooswijk

Kralingen-Crooswijk (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌkraːlɪŋə(ŋ) ˈkroːsʋɛik]) is a township of the city of Rotterdam, Netherlands.

It consists of the two boroughs Kralingen and Crooswijk, the former being a village itself until it was incorporated in the city of Rotterdam in the late 19th century.

Kralingen-Crooswijk is home to the football club Excelsior Rotterdam and the economics and social studies faculties of the Erasmus University are located within its borders.

It is linked to the city centre by the Caland Metroline, as well as several Rotterdam tram and bus lines.

On the northern side of the municipality is located Het Kralingse Bos, a large park surrounding an artificial lake.
