Tours in Rotterdam

Rotterdam has reinvented itself more radically than any other Dutch city. After the Second World War left its centre in ruins, it embraced a new identity as a testing ground for progressive ideas in architecture and urban planning. Today, the city’s built environment ranges from postwar modernism to recent highrises, and from harbour conversions to community-driven housing projects. Global practices like OMA and MVRDV, both founded here, continue to shape the debate.

All tours can be customized and combined into full-day or multiday programmes. Tell us what interests you – we’ll put together the right programme.
