Rejseplan
Før Anden Verdenskrig var der ingen Hovedbanegård, men der var fire stationer rundt om i centrum. I 1957 blev hovedbanegården åbnet på sin nuværende placering. I 2004 blev der påbegyndt en totalrenovering af hovedbanegården, i 2014 blev det nuværende slutresultat leveret. Den gamle station kunne ikke længere klare passagertilstrømningen.
I 2011 organiserede Rotterdam kommune det første byinitiativ, et administrativt instrument til at stimulere administrativ innovation og borgerdeltagelse. Indbyggerne i Rotterdam blev opfordret til at indsende projekter, der ville bringe liv i byen og forbedre livskvaliteten i byen. Der er afsat et beløb på 4 millioner fra byinitiativet til at gennemføre projektet.
I middelalderen en af de 10 byporte, som Rotterdam havde her. I 30'erne voksede byen Rotterdam hurtigt, og porten stod i vejen, da man ønskede et bedre flow for den stigende trafik. Det blev besluttet at flytte porten omkring 100 meter (en nedrivning af porten mødte stor modstand). Under bombardementet i Anden Verdenskrig blev porten alvorligt beskadiget, et år efter bombardementet blev porten revet ned, fordi den ikke længere kunne gøres færdig. Nogle prydværker fra den gamle port blev gemt og indarbejdet i væggene i bygningerne på hjørnet af rådhuspladsen.
Rådhuset blev bygget mellem 1914 og 1920 (af Henri Evers) og er en af de få bygninger i centrum af Rotterdam, der overlevede bombardementet den 14. maj 1940.
I øjeblikket er mødet et af hotspots i Rotterdam. Der er mange caféer, spisesteder og tøjbutikker. I 90'erne var mødet en gade, hvor der hovedsageligt var vikar- og rejsebureauer, mødet var en atmosfæreløs gade med meget ledighed. Robin von Weiler er ikke fremmed for Rotterdam. Han skylder sit kaldenavn Mr. Meent til alt, hvad han har gjort for denne gade og stadig gør.
Laurenskerk er den eneste rest af Rotterdams middelalderlige centrum. Laurenskerken er en krydsning mellem en halkirke (alle bygninger er lige høje) og en korsformet basilika (her er sidetårnene lavere end hovedtårnet). Kirken blev bygget mellem 1449 og 1525.
Moderne kompleks med et overdækket marked og flere restauranter under en bue af lejligheder.
I 70'erne af det 20. århundrede ønskede arkitekter at skabe gæstfrie boligområder med deltagelse af beboerne og andre brugere som reaktion på den storstilede og en grå modernisme i arkitekturen i genopbygningen efter 2. verdenskrig. Piet Blom, strukturalist og adept af Aldo van Eyck, antog, at bygninger i stor skala skulle bygges på størrelse med mennesker ved at bygge dem af små genkendelige elementer. Grundtanken, at bygningen bygges på søjler, så rummet under bygningerne kan forblive offentligt, er inspireret af Le Corbusier

Izzy was excellent. Incredible knowledge base. We happened to book this trip on a Wednesday and were told by Izzy that there is a gentlemen who takes a bull horn every Wednesday at noon and announces between church bell rings that “ it is never to late to say … sorry. It was unbelievable to see. Saw cube houses guys surfing and wave canal. Good meal. Rotterdam is an excellent city and the tour showed us that. Really glad we did the tour. Wish it was longer.

A friend and I wanted an introduction to the main sights and information about Rotterdam. But we were tired of walking so decided to try the pedicab tour. It was a great decision. Communication with tour leader Iggy was prompt and efficient via WhatsApp. Despite the unpredictable Dutch weather the your was a really enjoyable way to get an overview with good commentary by local guide Iggy who seemed to know every corner and nook of the city. Highly recommended!
