Why Rotterdam?
Rotterdam is a modern port city known for its architecture, culture and spirit of innovation. After the city centre was largely destroyed in 1940, Rotterdam chose to rebuild with a focus on modern architecture and new ideas. That approach still shapes the city today.
Visitors can explore icons such as the Cube Houses, Markthal and Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, discover art and culture at Fenix and other museums, or experience Europe's largest port from the water. Historic Delfshaven shows another side of Rotterdam, with its old harbour and historic buildings.
