During this specially developed educational and fun tour for high school students, explore the history of the Second World War and its major impact on the city of Rotterdam, from the war to its reconstruction.
Even in modern times and contemporary life, the characteristic after-war Rotterdam mentality of “do not complain, just keep going” continues to be felt in the fibers of the city. As a result, the important connection with the past continues to survive and still has an influence on contemporary construction and life in the city. In the post-war years, architects were given free rein to rebuild and beautify the city.
See the many imposing skyscrapers in the center and on the south side, also called the Manhattan on the river Meuse. During this tour the Rotterdam guide will also show you through the trendy neighborhoods and share the facts about life in this beautiful metropolis.
