Rotterdam Art and Architecture Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet at Rotterdam Centraal Station, in the city center. We'll begin a tour to explore the impressive architecture and street art of Rotterdam, known as the architectural capital of the Netherlands.

Strolling along the Westersingel canal, we will find the largest concentration of public art in the city, including works by Picasso, Roden, and Umberto Mastroianni.

Afterwards, we'll visit the museum area to see the new architectural icon, the Depot. This building, covered with 1,664 reflective plates, serves as the warehouse for the Boijmans Museum. We will discuss the details of this construction.

Next, we'll cross Rotterdam's creative street, Witte de With, and proceed to Plein 1940. There, we will stop at the sculpture The destroyed city, which memorializes the German bombing of May 14, 1940 that devastated the medieval city center.

After 2.5 hours of exploration, we will conclude the tour near Rotterdam's renowned Market Hall.
