With over 500,000 inhabitants, Rotterdam is the second largest city in the Netherlands. In terms of transport technology, however, it is world-class - Rotterdam has the largest seaport in the world.
Unfortunately, the city was badly destroyed in World War II. Only a few buildings are preserved. Nevertheless, Rotterdam is a cultural center. The various educational institutions - the Music and Art College and the new university - give the city a very lively character. Its diversity is also legendary due to the port and the former Dutch colonies.
