Full description

Rotterdam was rebuilt after 1940 as a city of bold modern architecture, and the river Maas is its stage. This harbour cruise sets off near the Erasmus Bridge and heads along the waterfront, with views of the Kop van Zuid towers, historic quays, shipyards and the docks where sea-going ships load and unload.

An audio guide explains how the port grew, how it works today and what the landmarks are as you pass. Rotterdam is about 40 minutes from Amsterdam by fast train.
