Meet the others

In Rotterdam, we are all equal

Not a big city, but still a metropolis

The mayor welcomed me

There are so many fun and good places where you can feel comfortable

Not all architecture is charming, but it is all remarkably interesting

Rotterdam led the way in modernist architecture, which also contributed to its status as one of Europe's most liveable cities

Drawn to the imperfection of potential hospitality hotspots

Outdoor art gives the city meaning

From the architecture in Rotterdam, you can see that this is a city of opportunities

I do everything fast, except food

You can rave to techno in your oldest clothes here

Surinamese is served as a typically Rotterdam dish

Rotterdammers are the best

Feel the energy of Rotterdam’s many identities

Untouched city districts are the perfect source of inspiration

Blend in to really mix

Music in Rotterdam is mainly about being yourself

Go on a sustainable safari in the concrete jungle

It has everything you need

finds the pioneering spirit everywhere

Change is the only constant in an inventive city like Rotterdam

Hip yet traditional

Rotterdam humour is very direct and always relatable

Rotterdam is the universe of the world

It doesn’t have to be hip and happening all the time.

Rotterdammers also have a say in how their city is going to look, and that’s why it is becoming increasingly green
