Rotterdam loves architecture
Rotterdam is world famous for its modern architecture which you can find anywhere in the city. The city is thus home to many architectural firms and design museums. Some of these are among the most progressive in the world and are also involved in the design of famous buildings and bridges in other major cities. Rotterdam is constantly working on ambitious new projects around the city to remain the number one city of modern architecture. This vibrant city is constantly changing and you can feel and see these changes everywhere. The skyline of Rotterdam with the Erasmus Bridge across the river Maas is a real eye catcher. Most modern architecture is clustered in the South of Rotterdam. Don’t miss the life-size green light emitting matrix at Toren op Zuid (South Tower), the hypermodern New Luxor Theatre and Montevideo, the tallest residential tower in the Netherlands.
