Euromast

Fodor's Review:

For a bird's-eye view of the contrast between Delfshaven and the majority of the city, as well as a spectacular panorama of city and harbor, visit the 600-foot-high Euromast. Designed by Maaskant in 1960, it was the Netherland's tallest building for many years; when a new medical facility was built for the Erasmus University, an additional 25 feet were added to the tower in six days, restoring it to its premier position. On a clear day, you can just about see the coast. The tower not only offers great vistas, but also packs in a number of other attractions. The Euroscoop is a rotating panoramic elevator that carries you another 300 feet from the observation deck up to the top of the mast. For the thrill-seekers among us, skip the elevator and rappel down from the roof (make reservations via the Web at www.abseilen.nl). The park at the base of the Euromast is where many Rotterdammers spend time when the weather is good.

  • Cost: EUR 8.30, rappel EUR 42.50
  • Open: Apr.-Sept., daily 9:30 AM-11 PM; Oct.-Mar., daily 10 AM-11 PM
