Wilhelminapier, South Holland Province, The Netherlands

4.5 (206 reviews) Spent Ranking #6 in Rotterdam Points of Interest & Landmarks • Piers & Boardwalks

The passenger terminal and much more

The Wilhelminapier is a former docklands area that has been magnificently gentrified since the 1990s. Always a center for passenger traffic, it now houses the Rotterdam Cruise Terminal. The Landverhuizers plein (Emigrants square) reminds of the times people would emigrate from here to the US. It is now a park with some very striking art such as the steamship chimneys and the impressive Lost Luggage Depot.

    Nice area
    We wandered around this area for a while and it was a very enjoyable walk. Lots of water views to our heart's (or eyes!) content! Not everything is absolutely beautiful, as there are some not so nice spots here and there. Plenty of very high rise buildings and restaurants as well as everything else that comes with modern development. You don't have to visit a specific place. Just enjoy the walk and the views!

    iconic part if Rotterdam
    The Wilhelmina pier was created in the 80th after many years of being neglected and has become a hotspot of Rotterdam. There is a big theatre Nieuwe Luxor, the foodhallen , a excellent art filmhouse, the photomuseum and in the back there is Hotel New York where you can have a meal or just a drink. This used to be a shipping office and from this point Dutch immigrants traveled to Amerika. In the summer the outside terrace from Hotel New York is lovely .There are many cruise ships during the year who enter the Wilhelminapier . Nice is to have a walk near the riverside. The pier you can also enter by watertaxi wich gives a little extra.. The Wilhelmina pier is connected by a little bridge wich gives you aces to Katendrecht wich has several good restaurants and the Fenixhallen,Not to be missed..From the bridge you have a spectacular view on the Wilhelmina pier In February there is Art Rotterdam in the Cruiseterminal, So lot's to see and to do . Not to missed.
