City Guide Rotterdam, Netherlands

Rotterdam: a city of the new

If you're a fan of architecture, especially modern, then Rotterdam is your city of your choice. It gives quite a unique perspective on the Netherlands which you won't see in Amsterdam or The Hague. It's a little more expensive than average, but the money you pay for gives you better quality. There's a quirky building at every corner and it's a refreshing change if you've been travelling through older European cities.

Insider Tip:For something different, check out the cube houses. There's quite a multicultural range of food on offer as well on Witte de Withstraat if you're after something different.

City of Glass and Steel

A great palce to go over the weekend, lotso f nice little pubs and bars, great sightseeing possibilities, a very special flair.

Insider Tip:A visit to the Euromast - a must take a bout tour - good to see the city from the waterside.

A welcome party

If you're looking for a friendly, insane, completely un-pretentious party atmosphere then you'll find it here. Some of the nicest people we met and one of the best nights out.
