Rotterdam’s Delftse Spoort is the tallest building in the Netherlands.
It stands an impressive 151 metres high. Another famous structure in Rotterdam
is the Erasmus Bridge, a 2,600-foot cable bridge that spans the Maas River,
connecting the city’s northern and southern halves. In addition to these
two impressive sights, Rotterdam boasts some interesting and boundary-pushing
architecture, such as the centre’s cube houses, with the result that this
city is a fascinating example of modern and contemporary architecture.
The birthplace of a particular type of techno music called Gabber, which combines
fast beats and samples, Rotterdam has a lively and varied nightlife. In the
area of Oude Haven, or Old Harbour, cafes and restaurants are set around a gorgeous
little bay. At night, the city’s lights reflect off the water, making
this a romantic and picturesque dinner spot. For a more alternative scene, head
to the cafes and bars of Eendrachtsplein and Niewe Binnenweg, were musicians
and designers mingle with art students. Here, you can also enjoy live jazz music
in Jazz Café Dizzy. If you prefer a more pub-style scene, head to the
bars around the Stadhuisplein. In short, Rotterdam has something for everyone.
