And don't forget that Rotterdam is also the largest seaport of Europe. Around Rotterdam you can travel through the harbour area and have some impressive views. I would also strongly recommend to visit Rotterdam during the first weekend of September, for the World Port Days taking place every year during this weekend. During the World Port Days the city of Rotterdam is one big festival of ships, water, music and fireworks. There are several maritime demonstrations given on the Maas river, as well as the opportunity to get on an excursion to the greatest companies (such as hyper modern container terminals) throughout the whole Rotterdam port area. These are the days Rotterdam is on it's best. Don't know why the video doesn't mention any of this, but keep this in mind if you want to see more than the 'every day' Rotterdam.

[@LearnDutchlanguageandculture]

Willem Bruins you are right the real harbour is awesome and most people wont see it unfortunately because its so distant from the centre these days, Id like to make a separate full video about the port side one day

[@ariehummel]

This is 100% the actual situation, which no other city in Europe can offer!

[@mariomirensky3513]

Great Video! Really appreciated. Our 2 children are moving for their Bachelors to Rotterdam & Utrecht and my wife and myself are relocating to the Netherlands in the medium term. If possible a following similar video of pros vs cons between these 2 lovely cities would be great. Where do we find the cheapest apartments (not so cheap...I know) between these 2? Thanks!

[@jvos]

Rotterdam is on average cheaper, but catching up. Advantage of Utrecht is that it is a more “classic type of city” and is centered in the country so everything is always close by. There is a website/app called “Funda” that shows all houses for sale/rent and to be build.

[@jsb7975]

Fantastic photography ! Absolutely the best of R'dam on U-tube!

Hello. I am a KZbinr from Poland. I really liked this movie about 25 places worth visiting in Rotterdam. I would like to release your movie on my channel in Polish. I intend to visit these places with a camera but as an introduction to the series. How do you view such an idea?

[@LearnDutchlanguageandculture]

Hi, interesting, how would it work?

[@rcdaluz]

I didn't realize the 3 biggest cities in the Netherlands, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague were so near each other, you can travel all 3 cities by bus. I plan to go all 3 cities. Do you have suggestions which bus company to take because I'll be carrying heavy luggage with me.

[@LearnDutchlanguageandculture]

You could check flixbus or eurolines, otherwise by train is also very easy connection and possible with luggage, many people also use the train to get to schiphol airport

[@lucilacosme7000]

Excellent! Thank you!

[@kannsein1137]

Amazing VDO,do you have a List,about this Places,because all cannot understand?

[@DutchSancho]

I saw Kabouter Buttplug, but you didn't mention him. It's a great way to show the character of the people of Rotterdam, taking some failed art and making it their own.

[@LearnDutchlanguageandculture]

good point!

Ons laatste vakantie in Nederland was in 2014. Ik mis Nederland heel erg, ik kom zeeeker deze zomer, ben nooit in Roterdam geweest. In oostenrijk ik kan bijna alle Nederlandse producten kopen so als kroketten, haring und stroopwafels, behalve de Vla, wij hebben geen vla hier in Oostenrijk 😟 ik ben gewoon gek op Nederland . Misschien in het toekomst kom ik in Nederland wonen ❤ zeer vriendelijke mensen maar niet vriendelijke weer 😆 maar Nederland blijft mijn lievling Land ❤

Echt een superleuke stad! Ben r meer dan 7 keer geweest en dan nog niet alles kunnen zien!!! 😢😢

[@eartha80]

a pity that usually people that are telling foreigners about what to see in Rotterdam , they forget to mention historical Delfshaven ,a very important place,where the Pilgrimsfathers left Europe for America . Also one of the oldest places in the city and with great old cafés .

[@serenapipi]

Dose anyone have a full list of these 25 recommended places can share? Thank you!

Jigsaw puzzles Actually the iconic history or Dutch That I know that I have been taught Is the invention of optics Education is fundamental to life If you can create an optical elusion and use the sun at the same time Perhaps try and get the sun to reflect from one window and 180° in the other. You might notice the sun will not reflect in one window to the other. Thanks for showing me Rotterdam.

[@carelwervenbos]

Nice video, yet some corrections have to be made, the floating bubbles on the Rijnhaven are no more there, then you forgot to mention the Eiland van Brienenoord which is accessible near the Feyenoord stadium in South Rotterdam also the Schoonoord tuin next to the Euromastpark must not be forgotten as well as the recently opent Depot museum from Boymans is a fantastic building.

[@wanderlustlexi7214]

Great video! Very informative. How far is Rotterdam from Amsterdam, by train?

[@LearnDutchlanguageandculture]

Thank you! With the Intercity direct it is less then 45 minutes :)

[@ariebhjd]

The best train is the one to Rotterdam ( they tell you that even in a song) from Rotterdam to Amsterdam only to go to schiphol if there is no flight from Rotterdam airport. ( it is obvious I love Rotterdam and I am very proud of my city 🙂👍) If you are no hippy anymore and want to see and live in the modern part of the Netherlands than Rotterdam is the place to be !

[@wanderlustlexi7214]

Arie Buitendijk thank you!! Do you have any suggestions on how to get to Zaandam from Rotterdam?

[@raouldelarue6033]

[@andreabrambilla8454]

Great video, I'm considering the possibility of studying at rsm next year. Could you please tell me in average which is the price per month for a single apartment/ room in Rotterdam and how much money are required for other expenses such as food? Of course it depends but it would be nice to have a general idea :) thank you!

[@LearnDutchlanguageandculture]

Andrea Brambilla hi thats great! A student room would be around 300 a month. Food in Netherlands is pretty cheap but depends on your menu, for one person economy style maybe 120 euro a month ;)

[@mickeydew1896]

If going to the RSM you might consider the stusent hotel. Close to campus, vibrant international student life and I believe rooms are 900E a month all inclusive (the 300 seen below is just bare rent ;-) )

[@qaysar2393]

The Netherlands & Dutch Culture Are you kidding me! 120 Euro Its only for 10 days Living normal life, NL is more expensive became last years, Even the rent at least 500 for normal small room, Your information need some update amigo:-)

[@whodrankmymilk1]

I'm considering moving to the Netherlands within the next year. It was either between Amsterdam or Rotterdam. Are flats in Rotterdam more or less expensive than in Amsterdam?

[@LearnDutchlanguageandculture]

Marion Church thats great! Flats in Rotterdam are much cheaper and are more available then in Amsterdam!

[@whodrankmymilk1]

Learn Dutch language and culture I assumed that's the way it would be. I am a retired American veteran and the reason I am interested is because I've just had a major change in my life that will give me the freedom to travel for a while. I spent a week in Ireland in 2011 and that's where my love for Europe began. I want to move to the Netherlands because I feel like it's a centrally located European country and would give me the opportunity to visit all the places I want to see. I love America but I have an opportunity to travel and I would be a fool not to experience some of what the world has to offer. And I figure Europe with its deeply rooted traditions and history would be a great place to start.

[@LearnDutchlanguageandculture]

Marion Church thats sounds good, and you are right, funny thing is, al the big Dutch cities are within an hour travel, and indeed from Holland everything is real close, like we have a train that goes from Rotterdam to Paris in 3 hours, you can drive to Brussel in 1.5 hours etcetera

[@whodrankmymilk1]

Learn Dutch language and culture Amazing. Would you recommend learning Dutch? It will be 12-18 months before everything is in order and I am ready to go so I feel like that's plenty of time to learn a good amount.

[@LearnDutchlanguageandculture]

Marion Church I have some videos about dutch language you can take a look at to learn The basics, but everyone also speaks English here so no worries haha

it lacks of culture, therefore its core characteristic is commercialization which you can see everywhere, basically no night life, not even public transport on the weekends at night lol

[@You-mr3lo]

How is Rotterdam cool? There are way better cities in the Netherlands. 1. Modern architecture: The Cubehouses in Rotterdam are imitations of the Cubehouses in Helmond. 2. €170 milion for a beautiful market hall, but where entrepreneurs can't get around. Local cafes and restaurants have to close to save the market hall. Cool right? Worthless policy! 3. Rotterdam Central Station is modern and unique, but not really in a positive way. You can say the same about the modern stations in Tilburg, Utrecht and Arnhem. If you want to see a station 'worth seeing', I would recommend visiting the stations of Valkenburg, The Hague HS, Amsterdam Central or Groningen! 4. Wilhelmina Pier? Really? ..I get Hotel New York..but the rest is ugly as hell... 5. The Erasmusbridge..is OK I Guess? But what about the St. Servaasbridge in Maastricht, Bluebridge in Amsterdam, The Slauerhoffbridge in Leeuwarden or The Crossing in Nijmegen. In my opinion all more intriguing or more beautiful than the Erasmus Bridge. 6. More space in the Randstadarea... right. There are protests against the a hand-drifting construction drive of Rotterdam and the Randstad as a whole. there are enough spacious cities i can think off. Den Bosch is a provincial capital and is literally in the middle of nature. Literally every city outside the Randstad has more space to relax 'Zwolle, Leeuwarden, Nijmegen, Breda, even Tilburg and Eindhoven. 7. Splashboats are really cool, i admit...but boattours aren't really rare in the Netherlands. If you like to spend your holiday in an industrial area of Rotterdam, go ahead. But you can also visit the cities where the canals run throughout the city. Dordrecht, Amsterdam, Utrecht Maastricht, Leeuwarden, Breda, Delft, Groningen. At Giethoorn and Den Bosch you can even go by boat tour to places in the city, where you can not get on foot. 8. Bars and restaurants...how rare... 9. A Museumsquare of Museamarea...Where in the Netherlands have I seen that before? Amsterdam, Den Bosch, Utrecht, The Hague and the diminutive old center of Dordrecht. 10. Shoppingstreets? I a City? How rare... I give up ;)

[@BanlieueBaby]

Rotterdam reminded me of a small Toronto or New York when i visited last summer. Amsterdam doesnt really have that big city feeling also many ppl of different ethnicities in Rotterdam never knew that.

[@ArchitectureRookie]

Thank you! I thought I was the only one here that isn't a fan of Rotterdam, at least the new Rotterdam. If Rotterdam was like the way it was before WW2 I would love it. I think it's modern architecture is very ugly and bland, as is all modern architecture. Rotterdam's ultramodern character is soulless and not unique, you can find this stuff all over the world, like in US, Canada, Japan, China, ect. I wouldn't go to Europe to see futuristic cities, I'd go to Europe to escape the modern cities because as hate living in a modern city. Amsterdam, The Hague, Utrecht >>>>> Rotterdam.

To be honest , please pronounce "s" in the end of a word more like a "z" ,not whith a Dutch "lazy s". Same goes form "d" (not a "t"), like : "and" NOT "ent". Sorry to say , BUT if you really are into English , please get interested in pronouncation. (Sorry and good luck)
