Book Rotterdam hotels

Hey, you. Yes, you, sitting at your computer pondering where to spend your annual leave. Let us plant a thought in your head: Rotterdam. Sure, you’ve heard it called the “Gateway to the Europe”, but have you ever tried to figure out why?

Find out when you hang over the side of the Erasmusbrug Bridge or go on a shopping spree at the Lijnbaan. Check out lastminute.co.nz’s Rotterdam hotels, pick one with a name you can’t pronounce and get going!

Things to Do in Rotterdam

You’re here—now what? Hauling around luggage is a drag, so drop your stuff in your Rotterdam accommodation and get in some much-needed sightseeing. Put the “dayum” back into Rotterdam with a photoshoot at the Erasmusbrug Bridge (or Erasmus, if all those Dutch words stress you out). It stretches 800m across the New Meuse River, and its towering pylon makes one heck of a contrast to the city skyline.

Now that you’ve collected enough bridge selfies and background shots to decorate Instagram and Facebook for several months, finish up your next important holiday task: souvenir hunting. After all, Rotterdam packages from lastminute.co.nz leave you with a lot of dough to spend!

Head for the Lijnbaan, a shopping street with heaps upon heaps of stores for you to explore. This is a car-free zone—good for pedestrians, maybe bad for you if you’re stocking up on goodies for your flatmate.

Getting to and Around Rotterdam

Kick off the party at The Hague Airport (RTM), located just 8km from downtown Rotterdam. You can hop Bus 33 to Meijersplein and from there all of Rotterdam is open to you. Or, you know, you can snag one of lastminute.co.nz’s car hire deals and cruise around looking for trouble on your own time.
