Eendrachtsplein

Eendrachtsplein is a central junction in Rotterdam where six major streets converge and cross a space spanning over 100 meters. The metro station building rises from the plaza and serves as a landmark that channels movement in all directions.

The square emerged in the 19th century from a water project but took its current shape in 1961 after water areas were filled in. The metro opening in the 1980s transformed it into a modern transportation hub.

The square is home to a provocative sculpture that has sparked ongoing debate and shaped its identity. Weekly markets bring people together to shop and connect with their neighborhood.

The plaza is served by multiple forms of transportation including trams, buses, and metro, all converging here. The open structure makes it easy to cross and navigate, regardless of which direction you want to go.

A former school building from 1863 on the west side was converted into a police station and now houses a popular café. The old architecture contrasts sharply with the modern structures surrounding it.
