This self-guided walking tour explores Rotterdam’s remarkable transformation from a medieval port town to a bold architectural hub following the 1940 bombing.

Starting at Central Station and ending at Schouwburgplein, the route winds through canals, harbours, and city streets, uncovering hidden gems like the City Hall’s inner garden and fire border markers.

Highlights include the dazzling Art Depot, vibrant Market Hall, Cube Houses, medieval St Lawrence Church, lively Witte de Withstraat, and the historic White House—Europe’s first skyscraper.

Along the way, enjoy food stops, public art, and stories that reveal the city's resilience and creativity.

Whether you're new to Rotterdam or returning, you'll leave with a deeper appreciation for this ever-evolving city.
