Need more information?

We are going to recommend you an emerging destination regarding the info of online travel agencies like Travelgenio. We are going to talk today about Rotterdam, located in the west side of the country and that will let you discover some incredible modernist architecture buildings.

Let’s make history: during the IIWW this city was bombed by the Nazi army and it was needed a full reconstruction, but this fact leave a unique city that owns a future view of what it should be.

Enjoy the buildings and get in love with the city

The architecture styles that the city owns are unique. As soon as you arrive to the airport you will understand what we are saying. Among the possibilities, we recommend you to start with the Markthal de Rotterdam, where you will find incredible shapes and the stunning paintings inside. You will be also able to taste the most typical products of the Netherlands. Also discover the Erasmus Bridge or even the Erasmus tower, where you can have the incredible city view.

Moreover, get to the Delfshaven port where you will taste the real soul of the antique Rotterdam, many art galleries, restaurants and monuments. It is a must to visit the City Hall, one of the less ones that survived the bombs. During December, meanwhile, you will enjoy with all the Christmas deco.

Museums and coffee shops

Where better to spend some time than in a restaurant or coffee shop to avoid the cold streets. We recommend you three museums above others: the Rotterdam Museum where you will find many unique works related to the city history; the Kunsthal Rotterdam, with a really interesting art collection and, finally, the Boijmans Van Beuringen Museum, where the occidental art history is shown.

If you are hungry, Rotterdam has a huge variety of restaurants where you can try the typical cheese but also the unique recipe of fish and, of course, mussels.

If you decide to fly now, the Rotterdam Airport has connection with almost all the European capitals. Moreover, during this month and January, prices are going to be lower as it is not its peak season. So decide your week and enjoy Rotterdam.
