Why Visit Rotterdam
The Kubuswoning (Cube Houses) by Piet Blom are among the most photographed architectural experiments in the world — one house is open as a museum.
The Markthal, a horseshoe-shaped market hall with an immense colourful ceiling mural, houses fresh produce stalls and food vendors beneath a residential apartment block.
Rotterdam's Euromast tower offers panoramic views across the port and city from 185 m, and the city's harbour tours give a close-up view of one of the world's busiest ports.
