Euromast, Observation tower in Het Park, Netherlands.
The Euromast is an observation tower in Rotterdam made of reinforced concrete that rises approximately 185 meters high. Two observation platforms are connected by a rotating glass elevator that gradually reveals views of the city, harbor, and countryside during its ascent.
The structure opened in 1960 as part of a horticultural exhibition called Floriade, which celebrated post-war recovery. A major extension in 1970 added significantly to the original height and transformed it into a symbol of Rotterdam's urban renewal.
The tower stands as a symbol of Rotterdam's post-war rebuilding, representing how the city embraced modern design to recover and grow. Its form and position in the cityscape continue to shape how residents and visitors perceive their surroundings.
The tower can be reached by stairs or elevators, making it accessible to visitors with various mobility levels. Clearer weather provides better visibility from the platforms, so timing your visit on a bright day enhances the viewing experience.
Two luxury hotel suites perched at about 100 meters high allow guests to spend the night surrounded by views of the city, sea, and port facilities. From these rooms, visitors witness how Rotterdam transforms as darkness falls and urban lights gradually illuminate the skyline.
