A city of canals and bikes, historic Amsterdam is a network of waterways lined with elegant merchant homes, museums and friendly cafés.

The words innovative and inspiring sum up Rotterdam, a major port in the Dutch province of South Holland. The Netherlands’ second largest city, Rotterdam has a diverse community, a captivating maritime history, and an abundance of excellent museums. When you arrive, you will find the city is an exhibition of futuristic architecture, an achievement even more remarkable considering Rotterdam was destroyed during World War II.
