Rotterdam's history is closely tied to the sea. Once a major trade hub, it still boasts Europe's largest and the world's third-busiest port.

The Erasmus Bridge, built in 1996 and named after the philosopher Erasmus of Rotterdam, is a major landmark and symbol of the city, often hosting municipal festivities and concerts.

Rotterdam is renowned for its modern architecture. Visit the iconic bright-yellow Cube Houses and the Rotterdam Market Hall, known for its colorful arched ceiling.

For a memorable experience, visit Kinderdijk, 9 miles east of Rotterdam. This village features 19 traditional windmills along the canal. In winter, locals skate on the frozen canal for fun.
