An avant-garde cultural scene, with a strong focus on modern art, design, photography and architecture.

Immensely diverse and multicultural, a reflection of its character as a global port city. One of the best food scenes in Holland.

An urban and engineering beauty. Its skyline and its river are the landscape.

An open-air museum of 20th and 21st century architecture. It is the main attraction of the city.

Its historical importance lies in its role as one of the largest ports in the world and, above all, as a symbol of the destruction and modernist reconstruction of the 20th century.

A very clean and well-maintained city, with a high standard of civility.

A top-level startup ecosystem, focused on sustainability, urban innovation, logistics and design.
