Rotterdam

Posted on May 2, 2023 by Ella

Post by Ella.

As you can tell by the latest several posts, we spent the day in Rotterdam. It is a vibrant, busy city with unique architecture. we were here for the first time on our last trip to the Netherlands and decided we really enjoyed the place.

Rotterdam’s history begins in 1270, when a dam was constructed in the Rotte.

More recently, during WWII, the center of Rotterdam was destroyed by German bombs. The city was rebuilt in the 1950s with a progressive approach and even today it still seems forward thinking and modernist. Rotterdam is currently Europe’s largest seaport. 

Here is a link to some of our favorite photos to give you a taste.
