Cheap Flights to Rotterdam

Rotterdam is a bit misunderstood by tourist all over the world. Some confuse this city with another Amsterdam, and those who do this will be very disappointed. Being the second most populated city in the Netherlands, the people of Rotterdam have a unique character.

When reserving cheap flights to Rotterdam you will expect to observe a usual Dutch city. But this is not true. The heart of the city was wiped out in World War II and the current cityscape was recreated after the war. When you travel to Rotterdam you will gaze in wonder at the Kubus apartments. You will also fall in love with the apartments in the form of tilted cubes, located in the Old Harbor. A single model apartment is freely open to visitors.

Rotterdam is also much known for its highly Dutch multiculturalism. Nearly half of its residents have only one parent born in the Netherlands. This means that Rotterdam is a multinational city, where the mark of different ethnicities can be seen all over, from the Cape Verdean communities and substantial Antillean to Rotterdam’s own Chinatown. Make sure you visit the Wereldmuseum, to explore the true multicultural mix.

Rotterdam as a Port City

Rotterdam is most likely to be famous for its busiest ports in the world, a unique experience on the European continent.

Another very interesting attraction is the Maritime Museum, where you can explore the history of the Dutch Navy. An additional museum that should not be missed is the Museumschip Buffel, where you can see a renovated marine ship. Museum Rotterdam, although not a maritime museum, also shows some interesting facts to the city’s maritime significance.
