Tour description
Rotterdam is unlike any other Dutch city: flattened in the war, it rebuilt itself not with nostalgia but with breathtaking modern architecture, becoming a showcase of bold design and Europe's largest port. On this walking tour a local guide tells the story of a city that turned tragedy into fearless reinvention.
You will stand beneath the famous tilted Cube Houses, step into the spectacular Markthal, and cross the elegant Erasmus Bridge with its skyline views. Energetic, innovative and refreshingly unconventional, Rotterdam offers a walk through the future of the city.
