Highlights
On this city tour on foot you will see the most important sights and interesting districts in the center of Rotterdam at your leisure and you will get to know some districts in more detail. The guide will tell you about the history of the city, how it developed from an insignificant fishing village to a world port of world importance. You will see how old and modern harmoniously stand next to each other in Rotterdam or how they contrast sharply. You will of course see the latest architectural works of art, but also what has been preserved through the centuries. You will hear funny and interesting stories and because we also see lesser-known spots, you will be enriched with a different, surprising, new perspective on Rotterdam and the people of Rotterdam.

About Rotterdam
Rotterdam is a modern Dutch port city rebuilt after 1940, known for bold architecture, a huge harbour, the Cube Houses, a market hall and waterfront views.
Rotterdam was bombed in May 1940 and rebuilt in a modern style, so it is unlike the old canal towns of the Netherlands: glass towers, bridges and daring architecture line the Nieuwe Maas river, which is crossed by the white Erasmus Bridge. It has Europe's largest seaport, and the harbour can be toured by boat. Delfshaven, a small quarter of old canals that survived the bombs, is where the Pilgrim Fathers left in 1620.
Top-ranked sights in Rotterdam: Markthal (Market Hall) , Church of St. Lawrence (Sint Laurenskerk), Erasmusbrug (Erasmus Bridge).
