De Rotterdam

Your Rotterdam and Kinderdijk tour continues to De Rotterdam. An impressive building that looks out over the Maas river. It is the biggest building in the Netherlands, built on a surface that covers 162.000m2. For this reason, it is rightfully called the ‘vertical city’. It was named after the ‘Rotterdam’, a ship that left this exact same place, back in the day, for those wishing to travel to the US.

Cube houses

The next stop on tour is the Cube Houses. The Rotterdam cube house has been an architectural phenomenon for more than 30 years. When looking at it, it makes one wonder how it is even possible to live in it. At first, it usually feels a bit strange until you get used to being in a house that is tilted.

Erasmus bridge

You continue towards the Erasmus bridge. Because of its shape, the bridge is also called ‘the swan’ or ‘the harp’ by locals. From the bridge, you have a fantastic view of the skyline of Rotterdam and the Maas river. The bridge connects the Kop van Rotterdam with the north side of the river.

Kinderdijk

After the tour through the center of Rotterdam, your driver takes you to visit the mills of Kinderdijk. This is a drive of approximately 30 minutes from the center of Rotterdam, with a private adapted vehicle. Upon arrival, you first see a movie about how the Dutch work with water. After that, you can take a wheelchair accessible boat that brings you to see the mills up close. You need to reserve a spot on the boat prior to your visit.

When you finish your visit to Kinderdijk, your driver brings you back to your accommodation in the center of Rotterdam, or the cruise port.
