Rotterdam Historical and Iconic tour

Guided tour of the iconic places in Rotterdam.
Welcome to the so-called Manhattan on the Meuse! a reinvented city that breaks with the architectural and traditional schemes of the Netherlands.

We start the tour at the stunning Central Station , and I'll reveal what it points to.
The bombardment in 1940 and its devastation pushed the city to completely reorganize itself, which is why we will pass through Lijbaan, a commercial area from 1953 that was so pioneering that it was imitated in other European cities.
We will continue our tour of Coolsingel where we will visit and discover why buildings such as the Stadhuis (the town hall), the Witte Huis , or Saint Laurenskerk were left intact in the war. We will see where Napoleon Bonaparte stayed , you will enjoy the contrasts offered by the surroundings of the Oude Haven ( the old port), we will arrive at the banks of the Meuse river where we will see the Erasmusbrug, Willemsburg and De Hef bridges and we will talk about the battle against the Nazis that took place in one of them.
On our 2.5-hour walk we will also see the Witte House, the Cubic Houses, Markthall and the foods that the Dutch like the most, sculptures, mosaics, anecdotes... and surely the odd duck!

We finish the walk in the Saint Laurentskerk Gothic Church and the sculpture of the prodigal son of Rotterdam: Desiderius Erasmus.
After this tour you will feel as Roterdamers as I do!
