The 15 Best Things to Do in Rotterdam

17 reviewed

Rotterdam rebuilt itself from nothing after 1940 and it shows: cube houses, a market hall painted like a cathedral ceiling, and Europe’s biggest port working away in the background. These 15 bookings cover the harbour cruises, the tower lookouts, the architecture walks and the water taxis, with prices and timings for each.

11.Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague Small Group Tour from Amsterdam

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 599 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $151

Small group day trip from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, Delft and The Hague, including Royal Delft ticket, guided stops, and free time.

“The highlights of the day were visiting locations not included in the price of the tour: the old and new churches in Delft and the Mauritshuis Museum (Girl with the Pearl Earring) in The Hague. These extras cost us an additional 60€ but it was impossible not to see these "on our own" time during the tour.

“The Waterbus to Kinderdijk Windmills was extremely good value for money and easy to locate. I would highly recommend this to anyone with some free time in Rotterdam. The only down side is the return waterbus ran every hour, so a more frequent schedule would have been useful.”
