Opened in 2014, Markthal features a large market hall and retail spaces.

Also known as Oude Haven, Rotterdam’s Old Harbour is rich with restaurants and cafés along the water. Dine on any number of outdoor terraces and take in centuries of history across surrounding buildings. The area dates back to the 16th century. © Olivia Giovanni | Dreamstime.com
Rotterdam teems with both historic and modern architecture. In fact, the city is home to internationally leading architectural firms, as evidenced in the city’s skyline. One standout building is Unilever, an imposing structure along the water. © Frans Blok | Dreamstime.com
More than one festival hits the city every summer, but Summer Carnaval is especially popular. This Caribbean-inspired event, also called Zomercarnaval Rotterdam, celebrates the rich cultures of the Caribbean through music, dance, parades and more. The event attracts nearly 1 million visitors each year. © Digikhmer | Dreamstime.com
About 30 minutes southwest of Rotterdam lie the famous Kinderdijk windmills. A UNESCO World Heritage site, these 19 windmills date back to the 18th century and serve as prime examples of the Dutch mastery of water. People still live inside these windmills; however, so remain courteous and do not peep in windows. © Nikolay Antonov | Dreamstime.com
Take a look at the unique cube houses, found both in Rotterdam and Helmond. Designed by Piet Blom, these quirky buildings sit above Blaak metro station. There’s even a show cube house to show visitors how people live in them, complete with a living room, kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom and sometimes a garden. © Digikhmer | Dreamstime.com
