Private Day Trip from Amsterdam To Rotterdam, Delft, The Hague

What's included

What you'll see and do

1. Kijk-Kubus

   The Cube Houses (Kubuswoningen) are one of Rotterdam’s most famous architectural landmarks. Designed by architect Piet Blom in the 1970s, each house is tilted at a 45-degree angle and shaped like a cube sitting on a hexagon-shaped pillar. The idea was to create a village within the city, combining living space with public walkways below. With their bold angles and bright yellow color, the houses are a popular photo spot and symbol of Rotterdam’s modern, creative spirit. Travel time is included in the total duration of the tour.

2. Erasmus Bridge

   Known locally as “De Zwaan” (The Swan) due to its graceful, asymmetrical pylon, the Erasmus Bridge is an architectural marvel and a symbol of modern Rotterdam. Spanning the Maas River, it connects the northern and southern parts of the city. At night, the bridge is beautifully lit, offering fantastic views over the water. It’s especially impressive during events like the Rotterdam Marathon or the city’s annual fireworks on New Year’s Eve.
