Rotterdam





This is the Central Station of Rotterdam




Rotterdam is a busy city. Unlike Leiden, you have to watch where you are going. Don't get knock down by a tram.



Skyscrapers of Rotterdam. Rotterdams' architectures are more modernize. The buildings are pieces of modern art. I don't know whether to call them weird or ugly. Rotterdam has the biggest and busiest port of the world.

"Over the centuries Rotterdam grew from a fishing village into an international centre of trade, transport, industry and distribution. At the beginning of the Second World War, on 14 May 1940, virtually the entire city centre was devastated by a German bombardment. This explains why scarcely any pre-war buildings have remained in this part of Rotterdam. After the war, reconstruction of what had been destroyed was given the highest priority. Now, many years later, a new, modern city centre has risen from the ashes. The avant-garde architecture is famous at home and abroad." - www.rotterdam.nl

Weather was bad today. Thus touring was cut short.
