Boijmans van BEUNINGENBoijmans Van Beuningen is on of the biggest museums of art in whole the Netherlands. You can take a look there on masterpieces from different ages and created by artists like Breugel, Rembrandt or Van Gogh.

Holland-amerika lijnHolland-Amerika Lijn was a place, where the transatlantics were bringing emigrants to the New Continent. Now it’s just a very nice café with a good view on the city.

The town hallThe town hall is the only one bulding which survived the bombing during the Second World War. The Third Reich destroyed whole the city, and that’s one of the reasons why Rotterdam now is so modern re-builded.

KoopgootKoopgoot is something like a „shopping centre avenue” – not so long alley where you can find almost all clothes shops you know. A lot of women feel here like three steps far to their heaven.
