Famous Landmarks
Erasmus Bridge
51.9244°N, 4.4777°E
The Erasmus Bridge, nicknamed 'The Swan' for its elegant silhouette, connects north and south Rotterdam at 802 metres long. Inaugurated in 1996, it is the largest bascule bridge in Europe with an asymmetric 139-metre pylon. It has become the symbol of Rotterdam's architectural renaissance after World War II.
Cube Houses
51.9244°N, 4.4777°E
The Cube Houses, designed by architect Piet Blom in 1984, are a set of 38 cubes tilted at 45 degrees atop hexagonal pylons. Each cube represents an abstract tree, the whole forming an urban forest. One of them is open to the public to experience daily life in this unconventional space.
Markthal

The Markthal, inaugurated in 2014, is a 40-metre-high arched market hall combining housing and food retail. Its spectacular interior features the largest artwork in the Netherlands, an 11,000 m² digital mural depicting giant fruits and flowers. The building houses 96 fresh produce stalls and 15 restaurants.
