Architectural wonder
The Dutch obviously enjoy being adventurous, and this shows in the amazing buildings wqe see all over the country. In this case this building is a remarkable achievement of the architectural spirit! It's worth visiting. But looking at it from a distance surely gives the viewer a taste of its majesty!

Impressive "Giant of Koolhaas"
This brand new building (completed in 2013) attracts a lot of attention on the Wilhelminapier and in the skyline. It's a massive building designed by world famous architect "Rem Koolhaas" which attracted quite some attention of the international press. You can visit it via De Rotterdam Tours and it houses offices, apartments and a hotel (nhow Rotterdam). When taking its volume and floor space into consideration it's the bigges building in the Netherlands. You get a nice view on the building when crossing the Erasmusbrug or watching it from the other side of the river (for example from the Veerhaven or Westerkade). You can also visit the roof terrace of the nhow hotel inside the building for free and have drinks, lunch or dinner. It's an impressive modernistic building, while on sunny days you can see the reflection of the Erasmusbrug on its surface.
