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.
