The monumental building has a symmetrical design, constructed around a courtyard, with the main entrance in the middle. The courtyard, laid out as a small park, can be accessed via the street which runs through the middle of City Hall.

The landmark of Rotterdam! The Erasmusbrug named after one of Rotterdam's most famous person. Desiderius Erasmus. The bridge, locally know as 'The Swan' was built in 1996 and stands as an example for modernday architecture in Rotterdam.
Nieuwe Luxor Theater
A brand new architectural miracle is the theatre. The Luxor theatre was inspired by the sea and with its red colors is very inviting.
Euromast
The Euromast was opened in the early 1960s and offers since now over 50 years a breathtaking view of the skyline and harbor of Rotterdam. At 100 meters there is also a brasserie where you can drink a beer at reasonable prices, the restaurant is very good, but also extremely expensive. For an entrance fee of EUR 8, you get access to the Brasserie and the viewing platforms, located at approximately 100 meters. You can use as well the "Euroscoop" glass panoramic lift that goes up to the top of the mast. In good weather you can look up to the Hague, but especially worth a visit is in the evening, when the skyline and the Erasmus Castle are illuminated.
