Rotterdam's Market Hall is the first covered market in the Netherlands, combining a tasty shopping experience inside a unique building. This iconic fresh market has 100 fresh produce sellers, 15 food shops and 8 restaurants. Packed with food stalls selling packed with fresh fish and meats, vegetables and cheeses to bread and sweets you can really find it all in one place.
- Laurenskerk
Laurenskerk is the only remaining medieval building in Rotterdam and an important symbol of the city. Built in the late Gothic period, the building refers to the time when Rotterdam was still walled and the waterways were the most significant trade routes. The St Lawrence Church (Sint-Laurenskerk), also known as the Great Church (de Grote Kerk), was built between 1449 and 1525.
- Cube Houses
The iconic cube houses (Kubuswoningen) of Rotterdam are a part of a residential complex designed over 30 years ago in a unique architectural project. Conceived by the Dutch architect Piet Blom, the buildings are characterized by several buildings, in the shape of cubes tilted at 45-degrees.
- Rotterdam Old Harbor
A stone's throw from the cube houses and the new and ultra-modern covered market (Binnenrotte Market) is the Oudehaven area. Dating back to the 14th century, it is the oldest port in Rotterdam. It can be said that the commercial and port life of the city developed thanks to this port.
