City Hall Rotterdam

Rotterdam's monumental City Hall stands on the Coolsingel; it is one of the few large buildings in the city center that survived the World War II bombings.

Grote of Sint-Laurenskerk

  • 20m
  • Admission ticket not included
St. Lawrence Church is the oldest building in Rotterdam and forms, both literally and figuratively, the historic heart of the city.

Markthal

  • 30m
The Markthal is one of Rotterdam’s most striking modern buildings and an absolute must-see for every visitor. Since opening in 2014, it has become a city icon—a place where architecture, art, food, and living come together under one impressive arch.

Kijk-Kubus

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Cube Houses are arguably the most distinctive homes in the Netherlands. These bright yellow, tilted blocks have been attracting the attention of architecture enthusiasts, tourists, and photographers from around the world since the 1980s. They are a perfect example of how Rotterdam demonstrates boldness in its urban planning choices. If you want you can visit this museum, but tickets are not included in the price of this product/route. Visiting the museum is optional.

De Hef (Pass by)

"De Hef" is one of Rotterdam's most famous industrial icons and is officially known as the Koningshaven Bridge. Opened in 1927, this impressive steel railway bridge was a technical marvel at the time. It was the first vertical-lift bridge in Western Europe and played a vital role for years in the rail connection between Rotterdam-South and the city center.

Erasmus Bridge

  • 20m
The Erasmus Bridge is the most famous symbol of modern Rotterdam and connects the city center with the Kop van Zuid. Opened in 1996, the bridge—thanks to its elegant design—quickly became the definitive icon of the Rotterdam skyline.

Euromast

  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Euromast is one of Rotterdam's most famous icons and, at 185 meters, the tallest publicly accessible observation tower in the Netherlands. The tower was built for the 1960 Floriade and designed by architect Hugh Maaskant. Originally 101 meters tall, the rotating Euroscoop was added in 1970, allowing visitors to ascend to a height of 185 meters.
