Virtual Cycle - Rotterdam - The Netherlands

6K - 104 Minutes

Rotterdam is the Netherlands’ second-largest city and a true place of contrasts: industrial heritage and cutting-edge design meet along the river and the harbor. Located in South Holland, around 30 km from the North Sea and connected to it by waterways, the city grew into a powerhouse of trade—today the Port of Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe and still shapes the city’s lively, international vibe.

Explore Rotterdam by bike and you’ll pass modern architecture, waterfront districts, and plenty of cultural hotspots, but the real highlights often appear over the water: the elegant Erasmus Bridge, with its distinctive silhouette, the bright red Willems Bridge (opened in 1981), and De Hef, a historic vertical-lift bridge over the Koningshaven channel that recalls Rotterdam’s strong port traditions.
