Rotterdam is a very diverse and modern city that can be explored in many different ways - whether on foot, by bike, tram or boat. Probably one of the most popular sights in Rotterdam is the Erasmus Bridge. The tallest bridge in the Netherlands, also fondly called "The Swan'' due to its unusual shape, offers an impressive view of the New Meuse River, the waterfront and Rotterdam's skyscrapers. Just a few minutes from the bridge is the Old Port and the Witte Huis. Historic ships are anchored in the dock of the Oudehaven and the Witte Huis is one of the few historic buildings in the city and at the same time a wonderful photo scene. Nearby is another popular photo motif - the unusual hexagonal cube houses, which stand out clearly from their surroundings in a bright yellow color. However, the gem and arguably the most important area of the city is the Port of Rotterdam - one of the largest seaports in the world. It is not only of great economic importance, it is simply an imposing sight. For this reason, taking part in a harbor tour becomes a mandatory part of any visit and is also a very special highlight for families with children. If you still want to get a souvenir or two, you can go shopping in Rotterdam seven days a week. From vintage to the latest fashion trends you will find many exciting stores especially in the pedestrian zones around Beurstraverse or Lijnbaan. If you have managed your strength well, you should also experience Rotterdam at night. The city is not without reason called the "Berlin of the Netherlands'' because there are different clubs and nightlife options for every taste and age group.

Rotterdam is crossed by the Meuse which divides the city into two parts - the northern and the southern. In the north of the city is the center with numerous extraordinary highlights and the most beautiful places of Rotterdam such as the Markthal, the special architecture of the Central Station or the diversity and coziness of the western Kruiskade. The southern part, on the other hand, is predominantly characterized by the many modern buildings, by the port and the former settlements of the dockworkers. One of the most popular attractions of the city is the Euromast. This is probably the highest observation tower in the Netherlands which has a rotating gondola that provides a breathtaking view of the city. But also the Laurenskerk, one of the few remains of medieval Rotterdam or the Maritime Museum which houses the second oldest maritime collection in the Netherlands are among the particularly interesting places in Rotterdam.
