"During WWII, Nazi bombs flattened Rotterdam. The modern city built on the ashes is now Europe’s busiest port, known for futuristic architecture and such inspired initiatives as inner-city canal surfing. The swooping Erasmus Bridge, dubbed de Zwann, or “the swan,” is a city icon, as is the Markthal, an indoor market that made international headlines when it opened in 2014 for its striking inverted U-shape and ceiling covered with what’s been called the “largest artwork in the world,” depicting fruits and vegetables on an epic scale.The Maritime Museum reveals tales of ancient mariners during Rotterdam’s glory days in the era of Dutch sea trade. Those lured to America by the promise of a better life may have worshipped at the Pilgrim Fathers Church before shipping off to unknown shores. For city views, zoom up to Euromast’s observation deck in an elevator that makes the trip in 30 seconds. Gain insight into the city with UrbanGuides, offering walking and cycling tours covering Rotterdam’s culture and history. From Amsterdam Central take the Intercity train to Rotterdam Central, a 70-minute trip.The Maritime Museum reveals tales of ancient mariners during Rotterdam’s glory days in the era of Dutch sea trade.
