About this experience

Rotterdam has more flat rooftops than any other city in the Netherlands. This is partly a result of the reconstruction following the bombardment on May 14, 1940. Join us on this 2,5 hour exploration along and on four innovative and special rooftops in the city centre of Rotterdam and enjoy the magnificent views of the city skyline.
