Why is Rotterdam so un-Dutch? This tour introduces you to the typical Rotterdam scene, with stunning modern architecture and social experiment. Countless cultures influence the vibrant urban life. Historian Ferrie Weeda explains how Rotterdam has been continuously reinventing itself for over 150 years. The result is a city of contrasts - often the product of conflict. Big scale icons like Erasmus bridge, Markthal and Cube Houses contrast with charming parks and picturesque districts like Delfshaven. Huge port industries on one side, alternative sustainable experiment on the other. In this tour you will learn about Rotterdam's strong civic pride, based on a history of struggling, adopting and resilience.
