Rotterdam

Rotterdam, also known as the little brother of Amsterdam, is a city located in the Netherlands. It’s been said that Rotterdam was once a small fishing village, but that’s just an exaggeration to make it seem like it had some sort of significance before it became a city.

History

The history of Rotterdam begins in the 13th century when a dam was built on the Rotte River. This dam helped prevent flooding and allowed the city to grow. However, Rotterdam’s true claim to fame is being heavily bombed during World War II. Despite the fact that most of the city was destroyed, the Dutch were still able to rebuild most of it. This is why Rotterdam is very modern and looks like a city that was built yesterday.

Culture

Rotterdam is known for being a modern and trendy city. It’s a place where you can find art galleries, modern architecture, and delicious food. But let’s be real, when it comes to traditional Dutch culture, the inhabitants of Rotterdam only know how to make cheese and windmills for tourists.

Attractions

There are plenty of things to do in Rotterdam, such as:

• Visiting the Cube Houses, which are houses shaped like cubes that make no sense whatsoever.
• Checking out the Erasmus Bridge, which is just a fancy way of saying “a bridge that connects two parts of the city.”
• Going to the Market Hall, where you can buy overpriced cheese, stroopwafels, and other snacks that will leave you broke.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Rotterdam is a city that you should only go to if you’re up for some modern architecture and overpriced cheese. It’s a great city for those who like to pretend to be trendy and hip, but it’s really just a city trying too hard to be cool. If you want real Dutch culture, go to Amsterdam or Utrecht.
