Rotterdam Revealed Tour: City Highlights Walk with a Local
♡ Save
Flattened in 1940, Rotterdam rebuilt itself into a bold, modern masterpiece. Discover its incredible journey on this engaging 90-to-120-minute walking tour. Explore Europe’s most dynamic city and experience its history firsthand!
Rotterdam was flattened in a single afternoon in May 1940. What rose from the rubble became one of Europe's youngest, boldest, and most international cities. This 90-120 minute tour tells the story of Rotterdam. 180 different nationalities call the Netherlands' second largest city home.
Over 9 stops, together in a small group, you will learn about the city's origins, its wartime destruction, and its essential role in global trade. Along the way we'll discover Rotterdam's bold street art, independent galleries, local bars, and the restaurants and museums I recommend to my friends when they visit!
We will start near Eendrachtsplein and walk around 4km (2.5miles) through the city center, the Stadsdriehoek, finishing in front of the world-famous Markthal, near the very birthplace of the city.
Welcome to all :)
