Shipping company Spido is one of the best attractions in Rotterdam. On ultramodern ships you will be guided through one of the biggest ports of the world!

You can enjoy one of the port tours or daytrips and have a great view at Rotterdam's places of interest like the Erasmus bridge, Hotel New York, steamship Rotterdam, the historic Veerhaven harbour and the Euromast. And of course you will see the busy water traffic with huge seagoing ships. From the boat you will be able to make beautiful pictures!

In the Hoek van Holland lies the final piece of the Deltaworks: the Maeslant Barrier. Two enormous gates shut off the New Waterway in the event of a storm tide. Through doing this South-Holland is protected against high waters. This storm surge barrier is almost as long as the Eiffel Tower and weighs four times as much.

Anyone who is not afraid of heights can come along: with the rotating elevator to the 185 m high top of the Euromast. On a clear day you can see Madurodam and the cooling towers of Antwerp. Discover the sights and sounds of Rotterdam overlooking all other buildings in the vicinity.
