Things to Do in Rotterdam

Experience the city from above and learn all the fun facts and trivia about this special city. A visit to the Euromast is therefore fun and educational. After visiting the viewing platforms at 100 & 112 meters high, the rotating panoramic lift will take you to the top at 185 meters! This view is of course already a special experience, but there is much more to experience for young and old! 

Diergaarde Blijdorp is a household name in Rotterdam and beyond. Visit several continents in one day and become immersed in plant and animal life from around the world. Come face to face with the giraffes or visit the Oceanium.

The Markthal is a beautiful architectural building and is open 7 days a week. Anyone who likes good food will get their money's worth in the Markthal. Here you will find ingredients and food from all over the world. And that for current prices. Taste the authentic taste of home or go on a culinary journey of discovery.

An adventurous journey through different cultures and art movements. The Kunsthal wants to surprise and amaze. Not just the first time, but every time. The Kunsthal Rotterdam offers art in the broadest sense of the word; old art, new art, photography or design. There are also changing exhibitions.

Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen is a versatile and idiosyncratic museum in the heart of the port city of Rotterdam. The museum is the only museum in the Netherlands that allows visitors to browse through Western art history from the Middle Ages to the present.

In the Maritime Museum Rotterdam you will discover the enormous influence of the maritime world on our daily lives.

Experience the most innovative port in the world! In the middle of the busy traffic of inland and seagoing vessels, you will experience a special tour through one of the largest seaports in the world. You will see the impressive skyline with imposing buildings glide past you, followed by a unique view of wharves, docks and the hypermodern transshipment of thousands of containers. Finally, you will sail past the steamship Rotterdam, the former flagship of the Holland America Line.

You play in PLAYWIJCK. Until you almost drop. Take the Haven playground with spray park: you're guaranteed to get soaked! And in the traffic garden you can drive around like a seasoned road pirate. Is it dog weather? Then rampage inside the House in the Hill. In DIERENWIJCK it is a real beastly mess. You hear that. You see that. And you smell that. To recover from all the running and romping, you can stretch out in WANDELWIJCK.
