Rotterdam
Much of old Rotterdam was destroyed by bombing during World War II, but modern architecture is now synonymous with this innovative city.
See the famous Erasmusbrug – nick-named “the swan” – that spans the Maas River; the innovative Cube Houses, tilted at an angle of 45 degrees to stunning effect; and the quirky square that is the Schouwburgplein. Allow time for the Boijmans-van-Beuningen Museum, Natuurmuseum, Maritiem Museum and the renowned Blijdorp Zoological Garden.
