This is Rotterdam

 

Europort is held in the world port city of Rotterdam, but Rotterdam is more than the home of the biggest port of Europe. It is a trendy nightlife city, a sophisticated shopping city, and a hip artistic city with plenty of fine restaurants, bars and a dynamic night-time economy, Rotterdam is rightly considered to be one of Europe’s most exhilarating and vibrant cities right now. 

 

Especially for visitors to Europort 2023, we had created a visitor's guide in cooperation with Rotterdam Maritime Capital of Europe to welcome them to the city and show them around!

Enjoy the metropolitan experience

Rotterdam has a lot to offer, but when you visit Europort you have to visit at least our top 5 of Rotterdam:

 

 

Delfshaven

Because Rotterdam is bombed during WWII, a lot of the historic buildings and sights are destroyed. Delfshaven is one of the few places left in the city to enjoy the old Rotterdam.

Cubehouses

You can question the practicality of living in a tilted cube, but it is certainly a very special sight to see and one of the biggest tourist attractions in the city.

Witte de Withstraat 

Probably the most popular street in Rotterdam. After a long day at the exhibition the place to be to go for a bite at one of the many restaurants and bars.

Erasmusbridge

When you think of Rotterdam, you think of the Erasmusbridge. By seeing it, it is no surprise its nickname is The Swann. The bridge is a beautiful piece of architecture.

De Markthal

A true food heaven in the heart of the city. Beside the delicious food and fresh produce its also a must see architecture sight. This modern building will baffle your mind.
