Things to do in Rotterdam
The best way to get to know the city of Rotterdam is to take a city walk by foot and at your own pace, with a detailed online map. Be guided past beautiful sights while the audio guide tells you all the stories.
History
Rotterdam owes its name to a dam in the river ‘Rotte’ and still has the largest and most important port in Europe. Moreover, Rotterdam features unique and modern architecture, as most of the city had to be rebuilt. This is because the city was bombed during World War II. This destroyed almost the entire historic centre of Rotterdam although some buildings like the City Hall and the Schieland House were spared.
Rotterdam monuments
The municipality of Rotterdam has more than 1,000 national and municipal monuments. For example, the Van Nelle Factory has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2014. Another striking structure is the Market Hall with its domed shape. The Erasmus Bridge, the White House, the new, modern Central Station and the Cube Houses are also sights not to be missed.
