It's very interesting to see how many locals watched and commented on this video. You guys absolutely should be proud of your gorgeous city.
Thanks for stopping by Richard. I hope you enjoyed the video :)

Moved to Rotterdam like 4 days ago and watching this made me feel incredibly grateful with life for being able to experience a city and society as amazing as this one.
Oh amazing! Congratulations! It’s such a great city 😊
I love Rotterdam, not been for a while and planning to go back this year. We used to fish a huge street fishing tournament through the city but it doesn't run anymore so i'll be riding solo!
Hey friend, how did you find accommodation? Which site? I cant find anywhere that's available...
We moved here in January and are so happy for the change in scenery from Dubai. Rotterdam is a wonderfully friendly and beautiful place to live. Hope you enjoy your time here as much as we are 😊
I am from Rotterdam and I have to say WOW what a great job you did !! love it !
Thank means so much. I absolutely loved your city. Thank you for your kind support :)
Apart from Dutch, which is the second language you speak in Rotterdam?
English, But most folks speak some German too.
Thanks bro
@@adopstap I thought Rotterdam always had some hatred and understandable towards Germans.
I was born in Rotterdam and lived there till I was 15 (1983), then I had to move to the UK. In many ways I very much miss living in Rotterdam and the Netherlands in general. I often think what my live would have been like if I could have stayed in Rotterdam. This video is well done and although much has changed since I lived there, I still recognize my birth city. The video even mentions the original Holland-America Lijn and that reminded me of my dad and his stories he used to tell about his early live. He worked for this shipping company post war as Chief Steward on ships like the SS Nieuw Amsterdam and the SS Rotterdam which cruised between Rotterdam and New York. btw This video came up on my suggested selections as I recently did a search for Rotterdam's Central station. I'm glad I clicked on it, I had a nice trip down memory lane, thank you for that.
This is such a lovely message Patrick. Thank you for taking the time to comment. I’m so happy to hear how this video sparked some old memories for you 😀
aaa@@@@#@@@@#@@
Nice story, you should really visit Rotterdam again!
I lived in this wonderful city 3 years ago and probably I will be back soon ! :) Netherlands always in my heart. Beautiful people, nature and everything
Ik hou zo veel van deze stad.❤️❤️
Als je geen middelen vindt om geld te vermenigvuldigen, zul je op een dag wakker worden om te beseffen dat het geld dat je dacht te hebben op is omdat je weigerde wat te investeren. Investeren is de sleutel.
Ik ben het met je eens maat. Investeren is de sleutel tot het behoud van uw financiële levensduur. En niet zomaar een investering, maar een investering met gegarandeerd rendement.
"Om meer te verdienen, moet u meerdere gediversifieerde inkomstenbronnen hebben", en daarom is beleggen een manier om meer geld te verdienen omdat het winstgevend is.
De meeste mislukkingen en verliezen op investeringen gebeuren meestal wanneer u investeert zonder de juiste gids en analyse van het winst- en risicopercentage van de investering.
Dus hoe kom je aan je juiste gids en de analyse die je noemde? Omdat ik enorme verliezen heb gemaakt terwijl ik helemaal alleen beleg.
This video is so well made. It really does this city justice. It actually brought a tear to my eye. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much 😊
If in Rotterdam take a water taxi across the Maas, it only costs €4 each and you can get a high speed boat trip under the Erasmus bridge which is pretty good fun for not much. You can take it from Hotel New York back into the main city centre, for example.
wow is this still really that cheap?
@@qwertyuio997 Yeah, it's like a 5 min journey. And I think it's per person.
@@neoepicurean3772 thank you! and it's next to New York Hotel?
@@qwertyuio997 There's taxi stops all around. But I know there is like an office where you can order by Hotel New York. Probably some taxi's waiting though. Very rough today mind!
@@qwertyuio997 www.rotterdamcool.nl/watertaxi-rotterdam/
"het Kralingse bos" is beautiful and has a great view of the skyline. Same goes for former international steam ship "SS rotterdam" which is nice to visit by watertaxi. Another great view is from the terrace of the former subtropical swimming pool "Tropicana". And last but not least "Maassilo" is one of the coolest venues in the Netherlands for concerts. So many great options in Rotterdam you keep coming back.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Tropicana is er al een tijdje niet meer hoor
@@zoufzouf_0359 Ja klopt, maar hij heeft het over het terras van het restaurant dat nu in het gebouw zit waar ooit Tropicana zat.
Actually the “Kralingse Bos” is full of rapists and crackheads....... but it’s still beautiful
My girlfriend from Germany kept talking about wanting to take me to Amsterdam, but after seeing this. I wanna see Rotterdam. Love the architecture.Very pretty and unique.
Oh yes, Rotterdam definitely doesn't disappoint and much less touristy than Amsterdam :)
I lived and was born in Rotterdam and you did a beautiful job of portraying this beautiful city! Thank you so much!
That’s so kind of you to say. Thank you so much Janey 😁
Now you've made me want to visit this city even more! Thanks for the very quick but very down to the point video telling us a bit of the place's history and also today's curiosities about the city. It was fun and very useful ! Please post more videos of your trips, because I'll watch and like them all. Stay safe and have fun in your travels!
What a beautiful city! You're telling me that the citizens came together to crowdsource a lovely bridge? Just one example of the kind of modern, communal society I'd love to live in.
It sure is :) I love the crowdsourced bridge too!
I've been living here for years now and have to admit I learnt a lot of new things form this video. Many thanks, glad you enjoyed the city
That makes me so happy to hear. Thank you so much :)
I live here and I didnt even know half the stuff you said lmao😂 i only appreciate my city even more now ❤
Rachel Raven so glad you enjoyed it Rachel 😀
What a fun and sweet video! I can check off most of those attractions and now I can't wait to return. Hartelijk bedankt!
Thank you so much :)
Thank you for this! I fell in love with Amsterdam a few years ago and now that the 'rona is finally over, I can go back! Thought to stop in Rotterdam for a few days to see more Nederlands and this video is awesome, I am super excited and glad I decided to see more than Amsterdam. Thanks!
You've done such a good job in this video! Well done!
I love Rotterdam and I've been there 3-4 times already, so I'm glad I discovered 2-3 more quirky places for my next visit!
That's so kind of you to say, thank you so much :)
I recently moved to Rotterdam and this video is perfect guide for me to explore this beautiful city ❤️ thank you so much 🙏
Born and bred in Rotterdam and always lived here, love this video, a lot of stuff I didn't even know about. Great work.
Thank you so much, Jobel :) I'm so happy you enjoyed it :)
Credit where credit's due. Look at your views. :) Keep it up.
excellent!! I live there and I realize that I still have many things to do...to see things in more details!
That’s great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it 😉
Best Rotterdam City Guide I've seen so far! Thanks for this! I can't wait to visit!
My pleasure :) Wishing you a lovely visit :)
watching your video in 2022 and still i found it so relevant. tyou mentioned history about every place and that knowledge is rare. you are doing a great job❤
Thank you so much 😊
I am from Rotterdam and I can also recommend all the places you mentioned. I would like to add the Kralingse plas / bos as well. It is a lake surrounded by a forest, all within the city. You can walk around the lake, but if that is too much (about 5 kilometers), take a bike! Also, it is a nice place to see a sunset (if it doesn't rain....)
Wonderful recommendations 😀 Thank you so much for sharing.
What a beautiful city, I want to live there.💃
Beatiful places and a plenty foods..i like the sorounding very clean..
I'am doing an essay paper on Rotterdam I live Atlanta Georgia USA This city is so beautiful can't wait to visit....
That’s fantastic 😀
That video is so awesome! So much respect
Thank you so much :)
I LIVE in Rotterdam and i really enjoyed the video so beatfull i learn alot of things i didnt know before
I’m so happy to hear that. Thank you 😊
Great view of a great city.
Living in Rotterdam for 30 years now..never get bored in it..
Thank you for making this Beautiful video about my city.
Thank you so much :) I'm so glad you liked it :)
I really enjoyed that, it was very well presented. We lived behind the Stathaus for over a year in the early 1990a and I never saw the courtyard. The architecture of our place on Noordmolenwerf was also vibrant, we had lots of living space overlooking the canal. The Santa Claus clip really cracked me up, I was having a workout and was close to stopping with laughter when I saw what he was holding ... thankfully Rotterdam council thought the same and repositioned it. I'm going back at the end of November and can't wait to explore the City all over again.
My pleasure 😇 So glad you enjoyed it 😀
For my third trip to the Netherlands, I'm spending 2.5 days based in The Hague (such a beautiful, quiet city) but with Rotterdam half an hour away by train, I have to visit this remarkable-looking city. Thanks for the suggestions, you've given me a lot of places to visit!
My pleasure 😇 I’m so happy you enjoyed the video. I also made a video about The Hague, did you see it?
@@theintrepidguide Yes, I did. I'm sorry if I didn't thank you for that video, too. It was excellent and I'll be rewatching it in preparation before I go!
@@DJ_Pigg No worries at all! I hope it was helpful :) Have a wonderful trip :)
@@theintrepidguide I spent last Friday in Rotterdam and have to thank you, again, for this video. What a spectacular city! Before I went, I was sorry to hear that the Boijmans museum was closed for renovations but the city itself was so awesome that I was actually glad not to have given up 2/3 hours of my time being indoors. I'll definitely go back, once the museum is open again!
@@DJ_Pigg That's amazing! I'm so glad my video helped you :) Thank you for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback :)
This is a brilliant video! It perfectly reflects the beautiful architecture of the Nederland's most beautiful city and the incredible vibe the city has. Just needed to include Stadion Feijenoord (De Kuip) to make it even more perfect. Erg goed!
Very good video,, very informative. I am glad that I found it, thank you so much for making it.
My pleasure 😇 so glad to hear you enjoyed it 😁
Awesome tour and recommendations! Thanks a lot :) xx
Thank you for your kind words, Marie. I'm so glad you enjoyed it :)
Wow I really wasn't expecting a video about Rotterdam to be so good. good job
Thank you so much :)
Really nice tipps! Thank you!
That was a great video and made me miss Rotterdam which I've visited for the first time last August 🙂 I reaallly digged tbe vibe of this city. Hope I can go back someday!
I really enjoyed it too! It’s a very cool city, modern but still got lovely pockets of old buildings. So glad you enjoyed your time there 😁
Great job! I live in this amazing city and you truly did a wonderful job capturing the Rotterdam vibe!
That’s very kind of you to say, thank you so much Anne-Chris 😀🤩🤓 I loved every minute of Rotterdam.
Lovely dear

What a lovely presentation of Rotterdam. And like to give you my compliments as a born Rotterdammer, You did a GREAT job. Thank you
I’m so happy to hear that 😀 Thank you 😊
awesome filming and commentary !... love the soundtrack as well. cheers from the philippines
Thank you so much :)
I was in Rotterdam and Amsterdam.. and i didnt like Amsterdam that much. Rotterdam is more beautiful😊😊😊
You're making the natives of Rotterdam very happy saying that 😂
Beata ofcourse Rotterdam is the best end better than Amsterdam 😉
I live in Rotterdam 🤗
Than you have a poor taste..in The Netherlands all people think Rotterdam is one of the ungliest cities along with Assen, Tilburg and Almere.
Almost every city in the Netherlands is better. ('s Hertogenbosch, Maastricht, Arnhem and Nijmegen)
(Not an Amsterdammer)
Rotterdam is more like a city. It looks metropolitan and modern looking. Whilst Amsterdam looks more like a village which is stuck in the 17th century.
Nice Video of Rotterdam. A city that I like and have family members living
Thank you, Ray :) Hopefully you can visit your family there again soon :)
Thank you so much for this video! I’m going to Amsterdam in April and I’m taking the train to Rotterdam for 3 days after 4 days in Amsterdam, and now I know some things I have to see!
My absolute pleasure. I'm so glad you found it useful. Have a wonderful trip :)
The Intrepid Guide I subscribed and I’ll definitely be checking on more video when I travel to places you’ve covered!
A traveling Bryant Just a warning about Amsterdam and Rotterdam: Amsterdam is very run down for a Dutch city because the government refuses to invest in livability in the central part. This is because practically no dutch people still live in central Amsterdam, it’s just offices air bnb’s and foreigners. The architecture is amazing tho and absolutely one of its kind, even in the Netherlands.
As for Rotterdam: it’s really poor. Crime and poverty rates are sky high. It’s the poorest city in the Netherlands with the lowest average income. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a homeless person there.
Also, public transport in both cities sucks. Most busses are still running on diesel and trains and trams are often overcrowded and super expensive. Luckily the Netherlands loves pedestrians so you’ll be able to get around on foot and otherwise with a rented bike perfectly fine!
Thanks so much for this very informative video with beautiful pictures. :-))))
My pleasure. I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😁
Beautiful video, great job! I am a 'Rotterdammer' and I feel proud of my city by seeing this video :-D!
Thank you so much :)
Thanks a bunch for this. 👌
My pleasure 😇 Thank you 😊
Amazing description! Great job kudos
Thank you 😊
Last night, I prayed to the CZcams algorithm to send me a new travel channel to watch, and it sent me this channel. Subscribed !! 😍
Thank you 😊
I live near Rotterdam and I didn’t know half of the sights. Thank you!
I'm so happy to hear that :) It's my pleasure. Thank you for your support :)
What an interesting city
Great content! I would love to visit.
Awesome n thanks for sharing
Thank you 🙏
GREAT VIDEO! Thank you
Thank you so much Maria :) I really appreciate your kind words of support :)
I was in school right next to the markthal, I have seen it being built. It's an awesome building, but the food is ridiculously overpriced
I ♥ my city😍
Me too
010👊
Thank you very much for this video.
My pleasure 😇 So glad you enjoyed it 😀
I am planning to go there in may.
I really enjoy the quick look to the city.
Greetings from Costa Rica
Have a wonderful trip. You’ll love it!
Hope you liked it 👍
I like your video 😊 I'm planning my trip to Rotterdam, it looks like one can easily spend three good days there
Thank you so much :)
Nice video and thanks
A delightful video with a charming hostess. Thanks!!
Thank you so much 😊
Michele this was amazing! And super informative too! 😊👍👍
thank you so much! really really appreciate your feedback 😊
Thank you 💛
Wow, you did a great job making this video about Rotterdam! I see you liked the windmills at Kinderdijk, as well as you did like Delfshaven. Well, then you should definitely visit Schiedam too during your Rotterdam trip. It's only 10 minutes out by metro (lines A/B/C) from the city centre of Rotterdam or you can take tram 21 or 24 as well. Schiedam has beautiful canals /harbours (havens), similar to the haven in Delfshaven and you'll find the tallest windmills in the world alongside them! One of those windmills, 'De Nieuwe Palmboom', has been turned into a museum mill and can be visited. You can climb all the way to the top. One of the other mills, 'De Noord', nowadays is a restaurant where you can eat really good. Schiedam is more than worth taking one half day of your time while visiting Rotterdam, especially if you like windmills!
Thank you so much for your kind words Willem and for your suggestion to visit Schiedam. I'm sorry I didn't know about it sooner. It sounds absolutely lovely :) I'll have to visit it next time I'm in town ;)
Wow! Michele. This is an amazing video and also extremely informative. The scenery, the landscape, the city sites etc. every bit of footage is so very impressive. Great job!! Well done!!
Thank you :) I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I hope it's inspired you to visit Rotterdam :)
Well,done! This gives a decent overview of the things to do in Rotterdam 😊
Thank you so much 😊🙏💚
Amazing city
Love this Michelle, top notch content for Rotterdam 😍
Thank you so much Roma :) x
great shooting & insight, well done ;) those beautiful sightseeings can only be done in summer, though !!
Thank you so much 😊
Well done!
Thank you so much 😊
Love your videos :)
That's very kind of you. Thank you so much for the feedback and support André :)
Nice work 😄
Thank you so much 😊
Rotterdam is the Best !
Nice vid. Leaving Rotterdam tomorrow and trying to figure out what I missed 👍🏼
Terrific city👏👏👏👏
Thanks a lot
My pleasure :)
So good
Thank you 😊
How about the splashbus? You take a ride in the bus and this bus will drive into the water and give you a tour as a floating bus. Also the snerttram will be fun during winter. An old tram is driving through rotterdam where you ca and eat traditional Dutch pea soup.
Great video 👍
Thank you 😊
Nice vid👌👌🌹
This is amazing! I live in the netherlands and I've visited rotterdam once. I did 4/17 things in the video! Can't wait to go there again and visit more of these things😍
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear that I've inspired your future travels ;)
Great video. I am a proud born and bred Rotterdammer. Next time let me show you many more places you can visit here.
Thank you so much 😊
cool video! I've lived in this beautiful city for like 7 years! cheers!
Oh how wonderful. Lucky you :) thank you 😊
Visit the Zwaanshals in the North of Rotterdam, lots of shops and a brewery and vintage shops.
Come and see me on the Zwaanshals
Rotterdam is the most exciting Dutch city for a photographer. Much more variation than Amsterdam or "Disneyland" Maastricht.
Good work girl😊!
Great video!
I believe it gives new perspectives about the city, even to people that have been there before.
What month was when you recorded this? (the weather looked really nice)
I love living in Rotterdam :)
Pauluskerk(Church) is not a traditional church, but a shelter for the homeless, drug addicts and ilegal limmigrants. Also an office and helpdesk for these vulnerable persons. Worth visiting.
Good job 👍 👍 👍 👍
I am going to rotterdam next week and I would like to thank you for the amazing video
My pleasure. Thank for you kind feedback Neil 😀
Ohhhhh, I loved this Michele - I need to visit asap!
thank you so much :)
Love it ♥️💞♥️💞♥️
Astrid Winkelman thank you so much, Astrid 😀😍
@@theintrepidguide thank you
😘
And of course Rotterdam has an awesome craft beer scene with many beer bars and a brewery/brewpub like Kaapse Brouwers and Brouwerij Noordt, located in an old fireman's station. Not to be missed!
I stayed in Rotterdam for 2.5 years and unfortunately by then I had not started drinking. Now I regret not drinking so much. I have missed such good beers. Shame
Should go there when i'm in Europe!
great!
Thank you so much 🤩
I like your guide of Rotterdam
Thank you so much :)
