Highlights
The second largest port in the world, rising from the ashes of the Second World War, a fishing village and a gallery of the latest architectural art - all this is the city of Rotterdam! One of the most expensive and beautiful bridges in Europe is waiting for us - the swan bridge, which rests on one pylon and proudly rises above the stormy waters of the Meuse River. We will walk with you along the alley of memory and sorrow of the 2nd World War and remember that we had one common huge tragedy in the past. A striking contrast for us will be the building of the City Hall, which is one of the few objects in the city that remained intact after the bombing of 1940. We will analyze the sculptural design of the facades, which has a special semantic content. I will tell you what unique animals live in the Rotterdam Zoo, where the ship-hotel is located, how the kingdom of tulips lives today and what hobby its king has, about new trends in the education system and what is the cost of living.

Itinerary
The second largest port in the world, a resurrection from the ashes Second World War II, a roaring deer and a gallery of new architectural experiences - all this is the city of Rotterdam! Ego futuristic architecture is really growing! Only in Rotterdam do we see a transport bridge in the shape of a bigger swan, at home in the form of toy yellow cubes and at home in the shape of a quarantine with round-shaped windows, and on a huge futuristic ring we see. We are visiting the Holy Lavrenty Church (the last port of pilgrimage to America).

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).
