Kinderdijk
To improve the region’s water-management facilities, a series of windmills were constructed near Kinderdijk around 1740. A living testament to The Netherlands’ age-old struggles with rising waters, the mill network at Kinderdijk was built to keep the surrounding region safe from floods. It was awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 1997 due to its cultural, historical and technological significance.
Rotterdam
Rotterdam is a major port city and the second largest city of The Netherlands. The Maritime Museum’s vintage ships and exhibits trace the city’s seafaring history. After being almost completely destroyed during WWII, Rotterdam is now famous for its bold modern architecture. Walk through the old port, marvel at the Yellow Cube Houses, visit the famous Food Hall or enjoy a sightseeing tour through the city by car. Everything is possible here and there’s so much to explore, take in glorious views of the city from 96 m (315 ft) high Euromast tower or perhaps lunch at Hotel New-York!
