Rotterdam was founded in 1230. In the following centuries the city was a rich commercial city. In the 15th century it became famous for the Humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam.

In 1853, the Nieuwe Waterweg was built and Rotterdam was suddenly connected to the whole world. The city has rapidly developed into one of the largest ports in the world. On May 14, 1940, German fighter bombers destroyed almost the entire city center. After the war, reconstruction began on the drawing board. Nowadays, in many places, the city is futuristic and lively, but not crowded. You will meet people from all over the world, and because of the constant emergence of new, curious structures, Rotterdam is getting younger and younger.

In the 1990s, Rotterdam was the birthplace and stronghold of Hardcore and Gabba (gabber). This is fast, wild techno music. Today, there are still relics of this that are played in some clubs.

According to recent surveys, Rotterdam has reached 7 points after Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzen (China), Pusan (South Korea) and Taiwan. It is the largest port in the world. Of course there is much more to see and experience than the harbor. Whether it’s modern or historical, party or relaxation - there’s something for everyone here.

• Rotterdam includes the district of Hoek van Holland and the outer harbor of Europoort.

dolfshaven

In this district of Rotterdam you will find the "old" Holland. This place used to serve as the harbor of the city of Delft. There is a canal with beautiful gables houses, a windmill and the former museum of the history of the city "De Dubbelde Palmboom". In 1365 the Delfshavense Schie was lifted and a connection to the sea was established. In the town of Delfshaven, money was earned by herring fishing, whaling, shipbuilding and the distillation of gin.

Piet Heyn was born here on November 25, 1577. He was one of the most outstanding Dutch freebooters. In 1628, he captured the Spanish "silver fleet" ten miles east of Havana, making him the Dutch folk hero. His prey was estimated to be 12 million guilds, which today amounts to about one billion euros. His birthplace is in Piet Heynstraat and his statue at the Achterhaven.

The pilgrim fathers (Pilgrim Fathers) also started from here to America. They first went to England by ship "Speedwell", where they were accompanied by the "Mayflower" and founded Plymouth in America.

The Pelgrim brewery in the center of Delfshaven recalls that in Rotterdam the pilgrims started their journey to the promised land of America. Like pilgrims, they joined the great adventure of strangers. Some of them may have asked for the blessing in the Pilgrim Church and the nearby brewery for a last beer. Pilgrim beer is still served here today.

  Erasmus from Rotterdam

This tour links the most important sights of modern Rotterdam. You can see the skyline, the huge port facilities and the futuristic architecture. The hike takes about 2 hours without a harbor tour.

Start at 51.91827 4.481249 Beurs Metro 1 Beurs/Churchillplein metro station. The 8 m high sculpture called Cascade comes from Atelier Van Lieshout and makes it easy to see the link with the stock exchange and the crude oil spot market. We will continue in the direction of arbitamsedijk. On the left is the Maritime Museum. There are ship engines and boats on the outside, but you have to do without explanations. In front of the museum is the Walk of Fame. Here, as in Hollywood, famous stars have left their hand or footprints in concrete. Continue in the direction of Maas passing the IMAX cinema to the 51.909011 4.487107 Erasmusbrug 2Erasmus Bridge. The bridge has been the new landmark of Rotterdam since 1996. The nicknamed "de Zwaan" (the swan) was introduced to her by the nickname of the nickname "de Zwaan". To the right of the bridge is the pier of Spido, where you can get to the harbor. From the tour you will continue along the Erasmus Bridge. The asphalt on the footpath is deep black and glitters in the sun. It looks like you're walking across a starry sky. On the right is the magnificent skyline and on the left side of the bridge the endless port facilities. The southern part of the bridge can be folded upwards. This is not done by the pulley, as you might expect with a rope bridge, but by four hydraulic cylinders hidden in the foundation.

Sculpture Cascade, looks like 18 oil-coated steel barrels, but is polyester

On the other side of the Meuse turn right into the 51.9076 4.4925 Wilhelminaplein3 Wilhelminakade, passing the new Cruise Terminal. Follow the road to the end of the peninsula. This is the New York Hotel. From the Wilhelmine paper, from 1873 to 1971, the American steamers drove off with their numerous emigrants. The golden writing on the last house reminds us.

After this short trip into the history of Rotterdam, you will return to the Erasmusbrücke bridge on the Wilhelminakade, cross the road that comes from the bridge to the Wilhelminaplein. On the left you will find the Stieltjesstraat. In 1942/43, many Rotterdam children were deported to the concentration camps in Auschwitz and Sobibor. A blackboard today reminds of this terrible part of the city's history. Then you cross a newer drawbridge and you will arrive at the 51.912868 4.49779 Koninginginging4 Koninginnebrug, which you will cross to the left once more. The green bridge opposite is the 51.913351 4.498799 De Hef 5Konigshavenbrug, called "de Hef". It served as a railway bridge until 1993. The middle part could be driven up to make room for the ships passing through. With the new construction of the southern link, where the railway line will pass through a tunnel, the bridge became superfluous.

Continue to the right on the Prins Hendrik Kade and turn left on the Brugweg on the 51.9169 4.496 Willemsbrug 6 Willemsbrug. Then turn right over the Verlengde Willemsbrug in direction 51.920058 4.48973 Metro station Blaak 7 metro station Blaak. There are the 51.920356 4.49003 Kubus Woning 8 dice apartments. The architect Piet Blom put all the cubes on the top and put the apartments in. You can visit one cube, the others you can stay in, because since 2009 the hostel is located there.

• Cube houses, Overblaak 70. last amendment: Oct 2020

The main square is now 51.9216 4.4856 9Laurenskerk. The church tower has no point because in the Middle Ages the wood was used for shipbuilding. Next to the church is the monument to the Erasmus of Rotterdam in a small park.

market hall

In no way should you miss the visit of the huge 51.920052 4.486801 Markthalle10 Market Hall, which can not be overlooked by the cube houses and the Great Church. It is an eye-catching sight to take in tastefully-designed products, from fish to exotic spices to chocolate. The beautiful paintings on the walls do something else.

This is the end of the tour. Now you can go shopping on the Hoogstraat, or you can go back to the metro, cross the main street and pass through an inconspicuous street behind the cube apartments to the Oude Haven. There you can relax in one of the numerous pubs from the long march.

From the Hoogstraat to the Beurstraverse

There is a simple formula: The closer you get to the station, the more expensive it becomes. The Nieuwe Binneweg and the Blaak market are therefore the best suited for bargain hunters.

• The Nieuwe Inland Way is the scene mile of Rotterdam. It starts in Delfshaven and ends at the Dragon Plein. The most interesting shops are from the juice venstraat, accessible via the metro station Dijkzicht. Here you will find alternative clothes, CDs and of course coffee shops. Lovers of cheerful colorful bags of the cult brand Kitsch Kitchen will find at Fabricati (No. 72) and Movimento (No. 78). Hardcore and Gabber CDs are available on MidTown Records, for Gothics there is Black Widow (No. 13) with various black clothes, high percentage discounts are available in the Denn Discount, and in the Volume Market (No. 30) you can take the way for the Sit buy sightseeing.

• West Kruiskade: There are Asian restaurants and a supermarket with Asian food and household products.

• Lijnbaan is the pedestrian zone in the city center. Here are stores of all fashion chains for fashion victims. If you want to make Poffertjes at home, you can buy a special Poffertjes pan at the Household Shop at the corner of Oude Binnenweg/Doormanstraat. Stay away from the beginner set for tourists ! It's just expensive, not teflon-coated, and the recipe is catastrophically translated.

• Blaak: There is a market at the metro station of the same name. We offer food, fish, spices, clothes, books, jewelry and much more. Market days are Tuesday and Saturday from 8:00 to 17:30.

• Zwart Janstraat: In the north of the city there are goods for daily use and Belgian beer.
