Dutch architecture today is one of the country’s most successful exports, with names such as Rem Koolhaas and Lars Spuybroek popping up on blueprints from Beijing to Seattle. Rotterdam is considered the architecture capital of the Netherlands. A city rebuilt from the ashes after a devastating bombardment during WW2. Since then the city on the river Maas has become a laboratory of architectural design, urban planning and even an art venue. Learn about the history, the culture and the character of the port city. Follow your guide through the chronology of its post-war reconstruction. Visit the must-see architecture icons and get a sneak preview of the future developments of Rotterdam.

Experience description

Departing from the newly built Rotterdam Central Station, your architecture walking tour follows city icons like the Theater Square, the 50s’ modernist shopping area the Lijnbaan, and the supermodern Timmerhuis, designed by the world famous architects of The Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA). Your guide will take you on an exclusive journey through the history and daily life of the city and reveal to you some of the hidden spots of Rotterdam. One of the main highlights of your city walk is the Markthal, the most unique and fancy indoor market in Europe. Here we’ll have a shortstop to explore the building and to take pictures.

  1. Hans van Helden –

    Dit was echt een heel leuke en interessante wandeling door Rotterdam.
    Tania – onze gids – was erg enthousiast en beschikt over veel kennis en leuke wetenswaardigheden. Let wel op, de tour is in het Engels, was voor ons geen probleem.
    Een absolute aanrader om Rotterdam eens met andere ogen te bekijken.
