RotterdamThis city known worldwide for its incredible port, the largest Europe internationally and second behind only Singapore has some reference points that you should necessarily visit if you love the natural beauty and has the chance. First, it should be noted that the center of the city lies on the banks of the River Meuse, from that point by providing breathtaking views.

In addition, Rotterdam differs from many European cities are characterized by signs of ancient constructions and other works, due in large part because it was little more than sweeping over the succession of World War II. This offers great advantages such as that having been planned almost entirely, is simple to move from one extreme to another in the city by any public transport.

We must point out for those looking for a city like Amsterdam in some points; Rotterdam has nothing to do with it and in fact, not a city typically Netherlands as the other. However, the construction of ultra modern buildings in the city center at night makes it an ideal site for the enjoyment of everyone, even on a par with the capital.
