The Cruise Terminal Rotterdam is located in the heart of the city, on the Erasmus Bridge. Anyone who docks here with a cruise ship has the best views of Rotterdam (I speak from personal experience). It's one of the most beautiful cruise terminals on the cruise route (metropolises departing from Hamburg with the AIDAperla).

The Jewish Children's Monument in Rotterdam commemorates the 686 Jewish children (ages 0–12) who were deported from Loods24 and perished in 1942–1943. The monument consists of a stainless steel arch bearing the names and ages of these children and is located near the old wall of Loods24 on the Kop van Zuid. It was unveiled in 2013 and has since been incorporated into educational projects and annual commemorations. In 2022, the artwork "Levens 10,000 stenen" (Lives 10,000 Stones) was added, commemorating all 10,000 Jews deported from Rotterdam.

Recognizable and beautiful stately building with beautiful details such as bay windows and shields. It is tempting to look over the water here on the Maaskade but this building is really worth taking a closer look.
