Rotterdam features many wondrous architectural designs, such as the Centraal Station, the New Orleans Tower and the stunning Erasmus Bridge, which is nicknamed “The Swan”, due to its unique design. The city has a vibrant, trendy nightlife scene, as well as hosting many cultural events throughout the year, from jazz and pop festivals, to film and dance festivals.

Those who have moved in the past will realise that it’s essential to carefully arrange the shipping of your household belongings.
