NEVER A DULL MOMENT IN ROTTERDAM.
Icons
There’s never a dull moment in Rotterdam. Rotterdam is a city where you can experience extraordinary things at any time of day. Take the Nieuwe Maas river, for example. Racing across the water by water taxi may be quite normal for Rotterdammers, but it’s a unique experience for visitors. To explore the port, board the Spido boat; not only does it sail past shipyards and the Transhipment area but it also passes important Rotterdam icons like the Euromast, the Erasmus Bridge, the Hotel New York and the ss Rotterdam. The fact that Rotterdam is a testing ground for innovative entrepreneurs, artists, designers and architects can be felt in areas such as MerweVierhavens. Rent a bike to explore this maker’s district, take a look at the Floating Farm, where futuristic farming is taking place, then visit nearby Weelde, a creative free state where you can also stop for a drink and a snack. A visit to the Euromast is also a must. Admire the city from a height of 100 metres or take the Euroscoop up to 185 metres. Did you know that you can slide or abseil down again? As we said: never a dull moment in Rotterdam.
