Amsterdam, Amsterdam, Amsterdam…

Λάθος, λάθος, λάθος!

Rotterdam!!!

και οι φωτογραφίες το αποδεικνύουν…

ΥΓ Το Amsterdam ειναι ποια προορισμός μόνο για ασιάτες τουρίστες…

#1 The Erasmusbridge

It’s a fairly young bridge, but now a symbol of the port city. Recently the bridge made it onto all kinds of ‘best bridges in the world’ lists and you can see why:

#2 De Rotterdam

Right next to the Erasmus bridge you can find ‘De Rotterdam’ building. It’s huge and was only completed a few years ago, but is already a crowd favourite.

#3 New Orleans

Right next to the Rotterdam, is the New Orleans building. New Orleans is a 46-storey, 158 m residential skyscraper and designed by Álvaro Siza Vieira. It is currently the tallest residential building in the Netherlands.

#4 Kop van Zuid

All these buildings and the Cruise Terminal are located at the ‘Kop van Zuid’ (or Llyod-quarter). It’s a Walhalla for architecture lovers and photographers.

#5 The Central Station of Rotterdam

Amsterdam is has been working for decades on theirs – but Rotterdam finished its awesome station under its budget and time schedule (and it’s lit af).

#6 Tons of other architectural highlights

Rotterdam has tons of other plans for new and epic buildings and there’s still plenty in the city to discover.

And we didn’t even specifically talk about the Markthal and the Cube houses

#7 Fun-fact: this is the Buttplug Gnome in Rotterdam

The bronze statue was ‘intended’ to show Santa holding a festive bell and a Christmas tree, but the artist that made it; Paul McCarthy, did it a bit different. After some moaning by Rotterdammers about the costs, the sexually active gnome was adopted and loved by the city.
