    During World War II, the German army's powerful bombing reduced most of the city center of Rotterdam to ruins. The Europa Tower, built after the war and standing in the city park, was a symbol of modernization and hope for the future for most people at the time. Its height, shape and location have great cultural and historical value, and it is the best location to overlook Rotterdam and Europe's largest port.

    【Markthal Arcade Market】 is located in Lawrence Square in the center of Rotterdam. It is special because it is the world's first building that combines a market and a residence, making it a new landmark in Rotterdam. Markthal is known as the modern version of the Sistine Chapel. The inner arch is printed with a large mural called "Harvest Corner", which is the largest artwork in the Netherlands. Under this arched structure, there are more than 80 shops selling fresh food. The arched roof can accommodate 228 apartments and even 1,200 parking spaces. Each apartment has a wide view. You can see the Maas River or Lawrence Church from the outside, and you can see the dynamics of the market through windows or glass floors from the inside, without being affected by market noise or smell. Opening hours: Monday to Thursday: 10:00-20:00 Friday: 10:00-21:00 Saturday: 10:00-20:00 Sunday: 12:00-18:00 Address: Grotemarkt 98, 3011 PA Rotterdam, Netherlands

    Rotterdam Zoo is the second largest zoo in Europe. It is a miracle to see so many species in such a beautiful environment. Each species has its own living space, which is very similar to the natural space, creating harmony between animals and the ecosystem. I really want to see how the zookeepers take care of the animals. 100[%] Recommended to everyone who wants to come to the zoo

    The old port is the Port of Rotterdam, which has hundreds of years of history. It is also a very important port city in the Netherlands. Although it is a port, the scenery is very good. It happened to be tonight, and the port under the sunset is particularly beautiful.

    Boijmans Van Beuningen is a versatile and idiosyncratic museum. The museum was founded by and for Rotterdam residents, and has been situated in the heart of Rotterdam since 1849. Just like the city itself, Boijmans stands for extraordinary experiences. The current collection consists of more than 151,000 objects, including masterpieces by artists ranging from Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel, Jan van Eyck and Rembrandt to Dalí, Kees van Dongen, Edvard Munch and Charley Toorop. Boijmans also prominently features the installations of contemporary artists, such as Yayoi Kusama’s mirror room. The breadth of the collection originated in the passions of private collectors. The museum owes its name to two seminal collectors: Frans Boijmans and Daniël George van Beuningen. The museum has been closed since late May 2019 for a major renovation and renewal, for which Mecanoo architects were selected to produce the design

    Museum Boijmans van Beuningen was opened in 1849, after advocaat en Kunstverzamelaar Frans Jacob Otto Boijmans zijn collection naliet aan de Rotterdam. Ongeveer honderd jaar later will de beroemde collectie van industrieel Daniël George van Beuningen toegevoegd. The museum building, established in 1935 with a special design for the Boijman collection, is one of the most manageable buildings in Rotterdam. The designated gates are an opportunistic part of the skyline of the city.
