Why visit Rotterdam?

Rotterdam does not rebuild the past; it reinvents the future. Flattened in 1940, the Maas River port emerged as Europe’s capital of experimental design, crowned by Piet Blom’s tilted yellow Cube Houses and the horseshoe-shaped Markthal, where vendors sell Dutch stroopwafels and Surinamese roti beneath a colossal mural of produce. Walk across the swan-like Erasmus Bridge to Wilhelminapier, where the historic Hotel New York—once the departure point for Holland America Line ships—stands alongside Rem Koolhaas’s jagged De Rotterdam towers.

Beyond architecture, the city pulses with creative grit and maritime heritage. Explore the converted warehouses of Katendrecht, home of the local Kaapse Brouwers craft brewery, or wander the sculpture-filled gardens of the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, the world’s first publicly accessible art storage facility. Whether you are tasting fresh haring at the historic Oude Haven or cycling past the industrial cranes of Delfshaven—one of the few areas spared in the 1940 bombing—Rotterdam demands to be experienced through motion, vision, and appetite.
