Exploring Rotterdam on foot and from above! City of Rotterdam is associated with many different things in the minds of Dutch. Some associations are negative, some are positive. For me this is a modern, vibrant city that went through a rebirth couple of times. First – rebuilding itself after bombing of WW2, and second time – modernizing itself starting around 10-15 years ago and going from a dirty port city to an environmentally conscious and fresh young international city. I call it a playground for most daring architects in the Netherlands. Where else will you see so many examples of unusual modern, sometimes even experimental architecture?! This is not your typical old Dutch city with narrow streets, very old buildings, and historical center. I don’t find it overwhelming or tasteless as some people might think. It is always a pleasure to walk with friends, colleagues, or guests and to show my favorite spots in my new home city! This time it was with colleagues – we walked along Veerhaven, river Maas, and later climbed on Euromast.
