Rotterdam Information


Slideshow of Photos
Over the years, Rotterdam has become the most important city in the Netherlands for modern architecture. Because of the bombing in 1940, the whole city centre was destroyed; architects and city planners had the opportunity to build a city according to modern views and ideas. Today, Rotterdam's Europoort is one of the world's largest, a massive complex of piers, warehouses, and refineries stretching for 48 km (30 mi), an awe-inspiring sight from a boat after dark.

Art lovers appreciate Rotterdam for its extensive art; philosophers recall it as the city of Erasmus. Representative of the city's adventuresome modern architecture is the Erasmusbrug (Erasmus Bridge), an extraordinary, single-span pylon bridge over the Maas River, nicknamed "the swan." This forms the main link with the Kop van Zuid, Rotterdam's phenomenal ongoing development project in former docklands on the south bank.
