Rotterdam

Rotterdam stands as the second largest municipality of the Netherlands, featuring modern skyscrapers and innovative architectural designs along the Nieuwe Maas river.

The German bombardment of May 1940 destroyed the central district of Rotterdam, leading to a complete reconstruction that transformed the city into a modern metropolis.

The Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen holds an extensive collection of Dutch and European art, from medieval to contemporary periods, in a mirrored depot building.

The Rotterdam Central Station connects directly to Amsterdam, The Hague, and Brussels through regular train services, with departures every 15 minutes during peak hours.

The Cube Houses of Rotterdam tilt at 45-degree angles, creating residential spaces where walls meet the floor as windows while ceilings function as walls.
