Stationsplein

Wilhelminakade 111
The city’s international travel hub for appr. 110.000 travelers per day. The renewed station was opened by King Willem Alexander in 2014. Its construction took nine years and cost 633 million euro’s. The station has a huge glass front and the roof is partly covered in solar panels. A number of historic elements from the former station building (1957) have remained intact, such as the original clock and the letters spelling out Centraal Station (now in LED lights).
An icon of the city! The Erasmusbridge is the third bridge crossing the river Maas in Rotterdam. It was opened in 1996 and named after Rotterdam’s most famous humanist Desiderius Erasmus (1466- 1536). The 800m long suspension bridge has a 139m high steel pylon/ tower mounted with 40 steel cables and a total length of 802m. The bridge is also called The Swan because of its specific form. The Erasmus Bridge connects the northern and southern parts of Rotterdam.

Take a watertaxi from Wilhelminapier to the Euromast! This observation tower was built in 1960 to mark the second Floriade gardening extravaganza in Rotterdam. At the time, the tower was 100m high. The location was chosen strategically: whoever drove into Rotterdam would see the 107 m high building (including flagpole) towering over the city from the road. In 1970 the Space Tower was added, raising the tower to a height of 185m.

THE WHITE HOUSE Geldersekade 1
4
The Art Nouveau White House dates back to 1897, and was the first skyscraper in Europe. It is 43m high, has 11 floors and an elevator, very modern back then. No wood was used during the builing, for fear of fire. The building is based on 1000 piles. Artist Simon Miedema (1860-1934) designed six images on the facade at the first floor. One was destroyed during the bombing in 1940. The sculptures symbolize important 19th century themes like maritime trade, labor and industry. Designed by Willem Molenbroek (1863-1922)
