Tour description
Rotterdam is unlike any other Dutch city: flattened during the war, the city rebuilt itself not through nostalgia but with spectacular modern architecture, becoming a showcase for bold design and Europe’s largest port. On this walking tour, a local guide will tell the story of a city that transformed tragedy into a courageous renaissance.
You’ll stand beneath the famous Cube Houses, step inside the spectacular Markthal market hall and cross the elegant Erasmus Bridge with panoramic views of the city skyline. Full of energy, innovation and refreshingly different, Rotterdam offers a walking journey into the future of urban life.
