What To Do In Rotterdam, The Netherlands | Eileen Aldis Travel Channel

What To Do In Rotterdam, The Netherlands
This video is a city guide and city tour of Rotterdam. You'll see my top 5 highlights of one of the most modern cities in Europe.
Above all, Rotterdam is a city with vision. It was very nearly completely destroyed during World War II and chose to see the devastating loss as an opportunity to innovate and build anew. The city was a blank slate for architects and artists. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes of war, this Dutch city has become a city of the future. Rotterdam is a centre for design, art, architecture, and sustainability. Locals joke that you should take a photo of the skyline today because it won't be the same tomorrow.
The Floating Forest is a great symbol of all that Rotterdam cultivates and inspires. It's an art installation of twenty live trees floating in the harbour. Rotterdam has the largest harbour in Europe and you can't talk about the city without reference to the water. The trees are recycled from the city's 'tree bank.' With all the new construction, trees are sometimes cut down in the march of progress. Now, instead of being chopped, they are moved to a tree bank for further use and enjoyment. The trees float in recycled sea buoys that are filled with fresh water to sustain the trees. The artist, Jorge Bakker, hopes the public art will get people talking about the relationship between the city dweller and nature. In this time of climate change and urbanization, this is relevant not only to Rotterdam but the entire world.
The Erasmus Bridge - Erasmusbrug, in Dutch - is the graceful link between northern and southern Rotterdam. Locals adore this steel-cabled suspension bridge and lovingly refer to it as 'the swan.'
Nearby the bridge, and across from the Fenix Food Factory, is Hotel New York. This is the former head office of the Holland America Line - the first shipping and passenger ship connecting the Netherlands and the United States. It was also the first connection between the two continents.
The newest architectural gem of Rotterdam is the Market Hall (Markthal). It's the first covered market in the Netherlands and is a masterful example of innovative multi-use space. Inside you'll find food vendors, shops, restaurants, parking for 1200 cars and over 200 residential apartments. The exterior is plain grey stone so as to draw attention to the interior which is dominated by the massive painting on the ceiling. Covering 11,000 square metres, it's the largest painting in the world and is known as the Sistine Chapel of Rotterdam.
Just across from the Markthal are the world-famous, iconic cube houses. Conceived and designed in the 1970s to solve the dilemma of housing above a pedestrian bridge, these atypical homes show, again, how Rotterdam answers limitation with innovation. The cube houses are meant to represent an abstract forest and are tilted at an angle that gives excellent views of the surrounding area. Ironically, however, because of the slanted walls and ceilings, only a quarter of the interior space is actually usable.
Looking around, it's easy to see why Rotterdam feels futuristic and is leading the way for green living and modern design. Have you visited Rotterdam? I'd love to hear your impressions so please leave a comment down below.

Being from Rotterdam, watching this video and hearing your wonderful words actually filled me with pride. I am glad you enjoyed my hometown so much. Thank you for your kind words.

[@EileenAldis]

That is so wonderful to hear, Richard. Thank you :) I loved visiting your hometown and felt very inspired by it.

[@xvizzy2185]

Your so lucky! I'm from London i wish I was from Rotterdam

I wish I was from LONDON! 8million people ! the whole world knows london ! half of holland fits in 1 London ! REAL BIG CITY REAL WORLDCITY ! rotterdam is an homeless-wellfare institution shit city dude.

Richard K. Wel ff de Duitsers bedanken he!

[@guyfawkes7949]

Hey @Richard K. I'm planning a visit to Rotterdam. Maybe you'd like to talk about it. Any social media I can contact you on?

[@mambamba]

I love Rotterdam alot! Most interesting city in The Netherlands because it is so innovative in urbanism. You do not see that as much in Europe, Rotterdam is unique in that matter. I like the fact that it is easy to get around, not infested with mass tourism, overall safe and clean. And people are very friendly and helpful, they do not see you as as burden. Rotterdam shows that modernism is not always ugly, and does it beautifully. Rotterdam rules!

[@EileenAldis]

Yes, Rotterdam is very unique!

[@TopCatsBack]

Warsaw was flattened during WW2

[@You-mr3lo]

...unique? Whats unique in Rotterdam? Cube houses are from Helmond. The big markethall, isnt the biggest of the Netherlands. Erasmusbridge?...are many in the world

[@mambamba]

@@You-mr3lo ​@@You-mr3lo It is all the above and more that makes Rotterdam unique. There is no market hall in the World with houses on the arch. The Erasmus brigde was opened in 1996, many cities copied that from Rotterdam. The cubes house were first built in Helmond and created in a more impressive way with a different facade in Rotterdam. Sorry maybe Rotterdam's version was more impressive quirky. There is no city like Rotterdam in The Netherlands or the World for that matter. You either like it or hate it. I love it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ64f6dni7KofLs

[@icysurfer1]

@@You-mr3lo Hell of a lot more unique than most of the strip malls and freeways of the USA.

The cube houses! Oh my goodness. What wonderful architecture.

[@samuvisser]

Having lived in Rotterdam for 18 years, it is amazing to see such a glamorous review of it and the amazing comments below. Thanks for the video!

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks! So happy to hear you enjoyed it :)

[@SATULAL]

I'm so happy to see the love that Rotterdam is getting these days! I'm frankly addicted to this city and love that this is a hidden gem in Europe! I'm glad its next to Amsterdam as well because you'll never find Rotterdam overcrowded and you can enjoy it just as much as the locals! Great video and I can't wait to go back!!!

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks! Yes, Rotterdam is definitely less crowded than Amsterdam and has a totally different vibe. It's such a lovely city and I felt inspired being there. Glad you liked the video :)

[@feyenoord010rotterdam7]

[@amishapandya2623]

Wow, I never knew how cool Rotterdam was but now I know, thanks to your awesome video! Thank you for bringing it into our lives! Like the others commented, I was very impressed with the Market Hall - I definitely need to get there someday. I love the sign that said "Take a picture of the skyline today - tomorrow it will change." Lots to see there...can't wait!

[@EileenAldis]

Yes! That sign totally sums up the city and locals joke about that too. The Market Hall is really something special. I love how it's both functional and beautiful - urban design home run! More videos coming from the Netherlands :)

[@nicholasivanderstoop4282]

Brilliant ,progressively tasteful. Yeah Rotterdam and the Netherlands

I'm happy you enjoyed it! We loved your beautiful city 💕

[@lindalouwagie-neyens4692]

Wow! Mind blown! If I ever go to the Netherlands, now I know which city to see! I especially loved the mural in the market.

[@EileenAldis]

Yes! It's such an inspiring city with incredible architecture to see. We have lots more videos from around the Netherlands coming up! Woohoo! 🙌🏻

[@AnikaRedhed]

Check out Utrecht too!

[@myafelicia]

Though we love our architecture in our beloved Rotterdam, the vast majority of our citizens will tell you that their favorite spots in the city are: the public parks and gardens. And there is nothing else that will make us sigh with relief and love when we're driving down the Maasboulevard or the Van Brienenoordbrug, and we see our skyline (especially at night). That's when we know that we're home again.

[@Milena-hy6eg]

Precies dat.

[@Man-in-the-green]

The skyline… three flats like English teeth in a row….

[@user-xv6hd7di4x]

I'm fascinated of your video about Rotterdam 👍👍👍

[@nancyjohnson9247]

Wow the City of Rotterdam deserves huge thanks and admiration for how they have developed their city into such an amazing place. Thank you for the tour. Love it all but especially those floating trees!! What an original idea.

[@EileenAldis]

Happy you enjoyed the city tour! Rotterdam must have an awesome city planning department. There was a particular politician in the 1970s who called for architecture 'with some life in it.' They succeeded! The Floating Forest was one of my favourites as well and I hope to see the concept repeated more widely :)

[@onsomewave8841]

We hate it out here send help please.

[@surendrapatnaik4011]

Rotterdam is lovely. Full of beautiful architecture

[@EileenAldis]

Agreed! The city feels fresh and I love the architecture too. Are you from the Netherlands?

[@tomvogels3565]

Fun fact: the original Cube houses stand in another Dutch city called Helmond and were build in 1974, they were designed by the same architect and were the main inspiration source for the ones build in Rotterdam!

[@beltfed1]

Rotterdam hasn’t been top of mind, I’ll admit…But ….WOW! Bombed to smithereens during WW2…Now it’s “Manhattan on the Meuse”! The city just oozes architectural freedom and new thinking. And how about that market! Another eye opener for me! Thanks for a really great video tour!

[@EileenAldis]

'Freedom and new thinking' is a great way of putting the vibe of this city. A place for architects, artists, and other creative types to just PLAY! The market is even more mind-blowing in person and I love how they used the space in different ways. Happy you enjoyed the tour around the city :)

[@peet4921]

[@ilonkagootjes858]

As a Rotterdam-Neighbor. (Schiedam, which is older, and famous for its largest windmills in the world, and Kethel 1 Jenever) I just visit the market-hall, this past weekend, for the first time. I was quit impressed. Beautiful building, one must say! But it is for the tourists. It's expensive, so very view locals will buy their daily grocery's there. And i keep wondering about the smell. and noise that must reach the apartments, 24/7. And even, when i told on FB, to my friends we where going there, i got responses like, look out for the rats... O.o Didn't see one, luckily. But who would want to live there!?

[@ilonkagootjes858]

Having an apartment in the market-hall, i mean. Rotterdam is a beautiful city!

[@Pickachuuuu]

ik wil niet veel zeggen maar in amsterdam wonen er meer buitenlanders dan in rotterdam. Het is duidelijk dat je nooit in rotterdam ben geweest. Rotterdam is gebouwt met amerikaans geld. Zonder Rotterdam zou amsterdam niet eens geld hebben want dat geld komt door de haven van Rotterdam. Haven van amsterdam stelt niks voor. dat is pas een vieze gore stad waar het plastic in de grachten ophoopt en alles letterlijk stinkt. blijf maar lekker daar hoor. tuig als jouw hebben we niks aan in een toekomst stad als Rotterdam.

[@brunoviegas6060]

Go to Amsterdam and Rotterdam is definitely in my plans. Thanks for the videos, Eileen :-)

[@jos101263]

Thanks for introducing the city where I was born and live to the world with this video.

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Sara! Cool! Yeah, we loved it as well. Glad you had a good time! I visited Rotterdam first which I think is a bit odd because most people probably see Amsterdam first. It's so futuristic and I love their attitude about how quickly the skyline changes. :)

[@dionnevanderhilst1339]

The best from Rotterdam is the down to earth mentality from the people from Rotjeknor, as the Rotterdam people say. The love for Rotterdam is totally genuin and without any doubt. Feyenoord is the most fanatic loved footballclub in the Netherlands.

I see more of a harp in the bridge, but either way it is very nice. And that hall is very cool looking.

[@EileenAldis]

Now that you say that I can also see a harp! I like how it's like cloud-gazing where everyone sees something slightly different. The Market Hall is super cool and different - one of my favourite buildings we saw there.

[@chrisbutler6258]

I agree Eileen, Its funny I saw the harp from the beginning, but I find if someone suggests that it looks like something then most people will see the suggestion. I guess some of us are different. Yes that market hall was beautiful! Now get somewhere warm before winter sets in ! Keep up the great videos!

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks Chris! I'm starting to dream of somewhere warm as well - as is our birthright as Canadians! :) You're right about suggestion. I always prefer experiencing things before hearing other people's reviews and thoughts. Then afterwards it's fun to compare notes, ie. harp vs dog haha

An incredible city, I adore it! Luckily for me I married a Rotterdamer, so we get to return and visit family every few years, and I never get tired of being there and walking and discovering new things (and revisiting others!). Wonderful people, vibe and so easy to get around, and as it’s somewhat in the shadow of Amsterdam, it is 100% authentic and not a tourist city. Can’t name a favourite feature, I love the whole place! [-Q]

[@EileenAldis]

How cool that you visit so often! I agree :) Next time you're there go to Dudok for me! I loved it there 💗

[@leovomend8789]

as i am moving into rotterdam in like 45 days this is actually good info sortof to get into the mood

Good luck with your move! We also enjoyed Dudok for working/lunch/coffee/apple pie www.dudok.nl/vestigingen and Fenix Food Factory is #1 on my list for next time - looks lovely: www.fenixfoodfactory.nl/. If you go, let me know how it is :)
