Discount with this card - from 25%, sometimes all 50%.

Many interesting things can be founded, just walking through the streets of Rotterdam. Architecture here, of course, noble! I, for example, was impressed Erasmus Bridge. , that is, the Erasmus bridge across the Maas River.
The bridge looks like a huge harp! At night, the bridge is especially beautiful, as it is highlighted from all sides.
Picture The Cube Houses (cubic houses or houses-cubes) "It's so a picture that one of the first appears if you score the word" Rotterdam ".
Indeed, very, well, a very unusual building! These houses are at Overblaak 70. It seems that these Cubes are about to come together to tourists on the head. The three-story houses, and they live in them the most ordinary people, and so there is a hostel "Stayokay Rotterdam Cube Hostel".
On the upper houses, the inhabitants break the kindergartens and arrange an open terrace for recreation.
In general, it is not too convenient to live in a similar apartment, and the locals are constantly tormented with the selection of furniture. At home, you can see thanks to one of the tenants, who decided to show what it means to live in such an unusual home and made a show cube.
The entrance ticket for such a show costs € 1.50 children under 11 years old (up to 3 years old), from 12 to 64 - € 2.50, over 65 - € 2. The show passes daily from 11 am to 5 pm.
Famous Rotterdam Nash skyscrapers . This will bring him away from Amsterdam. In high-rise buildings there are both ordinary apartments and trading rows, beauty salons, offices, restaurants. I advise you to dine in such a "high-altitude" restaurant-filled simply indescribable! Some skyscrapers are just amazed. For example, KPN Tower or The South Tower , near the bridge Erasma. Not only is the building equipped with graphic illumination, that is, at a massive billboard building of the 90x40 meters, some rays, patterns, etc. (the animation is also timed to the holidays passing in the city, well, for example, before Christmas on the building flashes A huge Christmas tree or Santa Claus), so also the building supports a huge fifty-meter iron stick, as the building, by the way, deviates 6 degrees ahead (by the way, it is more than degree of deviations of the Pisa Tower).
These are the pies! And this is not all that can be viewed in Rotterdam!
