4. “The illegitimate love child of Amsterdam and Berlin…”
Rotterdam is…
“There is no place like Rotterdam! ❤”
“Rotterdam is still quite an underrated city… I’d go back just for the view of that skyline.”
“It’s not an open museum that will stay the same forever. Rotterdam is a city that is a
continuous work in progress and because of this it has a very dynamic vibe to it.”
“Rotterdam isn’t for lazy people… don’t expect that the stuff you like or might
be interested in will just be there for you instantly. You need to work and look
for it but this will make you get to know the city.”
“Rotterdam is like the girl next
door, first maybe you don’t like her,
but after a while, the more you get to
know her and you learn to see the
beauty, the cooler she gets and
unexpected things you will love until
you are totally hooked.”
As the Bird flies…
“It is a wonderful place…”
“Rotterdam also is the multi-cultural potpourri of
the Netherlands…While these various ethnicities
also exist in other Dutch cities, they seem to
have made Rotterdam their mother-ship. In that
way, the city is less Europe, more World.”
