Surprising city of Rotterdam (part 2)

Classic vs modern in the Old Harbour of Rotterdam
The Old Harbour is the oldest harbour in Rotterdam, it was built in the 14th century already.

In the Old Harbour the famous modern Cube Houses are located next to the historic merchant houses, which are some of the oldest buildings in Rotterdam. Due to this contrast, the Old Harbour is a great photo spot as well!

The White House: the 1st skyscraper in Rotterdam was built in 1898 and it has been the tallest office building in Europe for many years.

The Willemsbrug is a bridge next to the Erasmusbrug in the centre of Rotterdam, spanning the Nieuwe Maas.

The Willemsbrug is a cable-stayed bridge with a total span of about 318 meters. It is painted in a red color which puts it in sharp contrast with the light blue painted Erasmus Bridge.
