A complex of cube-shaped houses that brought Rotterdam's architecture to prominence and is presented on the page as a city landmark.
See red pandas, elephants, sharks, and rays at the zoo and Oceanium.

A former passenger ship moored in Katendrecht, now operating as a hotel, museum, and restaurant, with tours of the ship available.
Reviews say some areas aboard the ship close at 5 p.m., so check opening hours and do not arrive late if you want to explore the interior.
With enough time in port, you can explore beyond the city. One-way times are approximate.
A windmill village designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with 19 traditional windmills along its waterways.
It exhibits works from the Dutch Golden Age, including Rembrandt's The Night Watch. It is said that even seeing only the highlights takes 2–3 hours.
Restoration work and temporary structures may obstruct the view of The Night Watch at the Rijksmuseum, so check its viewing conditions if that is your main reason for visiting.
A museum about Van Gogh's life and work, holding the world's largest collection of his works.
Same-day tickets for the Van Gogh Museum may sell out, so reserve a time slot in advance if planning a visit to Amsterdam.
Visit the house where Anne Frank and her family hid during the war.
Reviews say tickets for the Anne Frank House often sell out in advance and are available online only, so book before your trip.
A square where locals and visitors gather, with the Royal Palace on one side.
The Royal Palace on Dam Square, whose interior is described as reflecting the wealth of the Dutch Golden Age.
You may still have to wait at the Amsterdam Royal Palace even with a ticket bought in advance, so arrive early in the morning if possible.

Rotterdam is a city that's a long way removed from most people's stereotypical notion of the Netherlands. There are few, if any, canals to be found here nor are there any quaint windmills. There is, however, a thriving modern city which is one of the busiest ports in the entire world.
