Rotterdam is a large port city in the west of the Netherlands in the Province of South Holland with a population of over 620,000. It lies in the Rhine-Meuse delta, and is connected to the North Sea by the 30-kilometer-long Nieuwe Waterweg canal.
The first records of Rotterdam date back to 1283. It received city rights in 1299, and developed significantly in the 17th and 18th centuries through trade with France and England or the shipping industry. Rotterdam's seaport already played a significant role in the life of the city and still impresses today with its size and capabilities.
If you want to get to know Rotterdam, start your tour with the Gothic St. Lawrence Church, one of the most characteristic buildings, also one of the oldest, which, however, suffered significantly during the Luftwaffe carpet raids of 1940 - its walls and tower survived then. Today, in addition to its beautiful facade, the church's interior is worth seeing, with its historic altars and tombs. The city also boasts a number of museums full of valuable art collections. Particularly noteworthy is the large Boijmans Van Beuningen museum collecting works by many famous artists, or the Kunsthal Art Museum, which hosts temporary and thematic exhibitions.
Rotterdam is a city that is constantly vibrant. There you can find numerous clubs, discos and pubs, plus there are many events, concerts and festivals. In the summer there is a good chance that you will come across one of the numerous open-air performances, and in the winter - a fair or Christmas market.
Rotterdam is a major transportation hub, where highways and railroads intersect. In addition, an airport and Europe's largest seaport can be found there. The city has five subway lines, as well as streetcars and buses, so getting around Rotterdam and other towns in the metropolitan area in the western Netherlands shouldn't be a problem.

.Chehryn (ukr. Чигирин) is a town in central Ukraine, located in the Cherkasy region, on the Tymba River, a tributary of the Dnieper. Although it currently has the status of a small city, Chehrin has a very important historical significance, especially in the context of the history of the Cossacks and the birth of Ukrainian statehood.
The most important point in the city's history was the Chehrin fortress, which was one of the main defense centers in the region in the 17th century. This castle played a strategic role during the war with the Ottoman Empire and during the war with Poland. Although the fortress was destroyed by the Turks and Russians, its ruins are still a symbol of Ukrainian resistance and have great historical significance.
Although Chehrin is not a large city today, it has a rich cultural heritage that commemorates its former role in Ukrainian history. Czehryn is home to many monuments commemorating the struggle for independence and national heroes such as Bohdan Khmelnytsky.
The city is also home to the Czehrin Museum, which presents the history of the city, the fortress and the Cossack period. Also worth a visit is St. Michael's Church from the 18th century, which is one of the region's most important religious monuments.
