What you'll see
Rotterdam Central Station
Rotterdam Centraal's dramatic steel gateway points straight at the city — a bold welcome to a place that rebuilds bigger and braver.
Fire Boundary Marking
A line embedded in the pavement marks where the German bombing stopped — the moment that erased Rotterdam's old city centre.
Lijnbaan
Europe's first purpose-built pedestrian shopping street. Rotterdam's representation of post-war declaration: we rebuild and we do it better.
City Hall Rotterdam
The Stadhuis survived the bombing and became a symbol of the city's resilience.
De Bijenkorf Rotterdam
The Netherlands' beloved department store chain with over 150 years of history. Outside stands Ossip Zadkine's sculpture 'The Destroyed City'.
St. Lawrence Church
The only medieval building left in Rotterdam's city centre. Six centuries of history carved in stone.
Market Hall
A striking residential arch over one of Europe's most spectacular food markets. The ceiling is covered in 11,000 m² of monumental artwork.
Cube Houses
Piet Blom's masterpiece: 38 houses tilted at 45°, balanced on hexagonal pillars, home to the Kijk-Kubus show cube.
Old Harbour (Oude Haven)
Rotterdam's oldest harbour — where the city began. Above it stands the White House (Witte Huis), Europe's first 'skyscraper'.
