We will stop closeby at the square in front of the St. Lawrence Church.
The yellow Cube Houses might be one of the most famous sightseeing locations in the city. We will stand in front, talk about the history and take photos.
The Market Hall (2014) made Rotterdam extra famous and is a modern indoor market with lots of food and colours! We also call it our modern Sistine Chapel and you will find out why!

The Old Harbour is one of the oldest harbours of The Netherlands and also very cozy. We will stop on the William's Bridge with a view on the White House, once the biggest office skyscraper of Europe.
