Day Trip to Rotterdam from Amsterdam

At the time of your choice, your friendly, local, English-speaking professional driver will pick you up from your accommodation in a private vehicle ready to share the historical facts, the necessary information about the sights and, of course, his personal input in order to immerse you into the Dutch lifestyle.

The sightseeing ride is completely private and you can customize it to your preferences!

The drive to Rotterdam will last approximately 1.5 hours. Along the way, you will pass through The Hague, the third-largest city in The Netherlands. Upon request, your Welcome Driver can stop there and give you as much time as you need to stroll around the city center. The Hague will impress you with the richness of culture and history. You will have a chance to see Binnenhof, Noordeinde Palace, Peace Palace, and much more.

Once you have reached Rotterdam, you will have many attractions to visit. The Cube Houses are one of the most iconic objects in the town. Designed by architect Piet Blom, the houses form a separate village within the city. Each house in the set represents a tree, and together they form the unique forest. 

Markthal is another attraction near the Cube Houses. This extraordinary market is known for the hall's ceiling which features a fascinating urban fresco 'Horn of Plenty.' The market itself is a perfect place for shopping and local food tasting. 

Locals also recommend visiting Erasmusbrug, a bridge in the center of Rotterdam which connects the south and north parts of the town. Its eye-catching white structure makes it the perfect location to take panoramic pictures of Rotterdam.

Euromast observation tower, an 184 meters tall building, attracts both locals and visitors to admire the views of the city. 

Rotterdam is also full of great museums that are a must-visit place for art or history lover. Among the best, you will find a natural history museum Natuurhistorisch Museum, Chabot Museum which exhibits paintings and sculptures by Dutch painter Hendrikus Chabot. You can also visit the Maritime Museum and discover the history of shipping, see historic vessels, and much more.

Van Nelle Factory is also worth the visit. This modern building by other architects is called the 'the most beautiful spectacle of the modern age.' It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and fascinates everyone by the perfect shapes in steel and glass.

You can also discover the mini version of Rotterdam by visiting Miniworld Rotterdam. It is a perfect place to spend time if the weather is bad. Miniworld Rotterdam organizes treasure hunts' love both by kids and adults.

For the street food lovers, the locals suggest trying Kapsalon. It is the most popular fast food in Holland and contains french fries, meat, Gouda cheese and vegetable.

At the end of the ride, your friendly driver will drop you off at your accommodation.
