Rotterdam river cruises, Netherlands

What's great about Rotterdam river cruises?

You might hear Rotterdam referred to by a different name – the Gateway to the World, thanks to all the roads, rivers and railways that pass through it. And as Europe’s biggest port, it’s packed with lots of things to do, too. Start off by getting a bird’s eye view of the city from the top of the Euromast Tower – the tallest building in Rotterdam. Snap some photos from the viewing platform, then head to the restaurant for a sweet stroopwafel pastry. Over in the old quarter, you can learn about the bombing of Rotterdam during a tour of the 600-year-old St Lawrence Church – the only building in the area left standing after World War 2. Then, go for a wander around the city’s collection of art galleries, where you’ll see pieces by Picasso, Rembrandt and Van Gogh.
