Rotterdam Ferry Port Information
Rotterdam Europoort is located on the coast of Holland. It is the largest port in Europe and was the busiest port in the world between 1962 - 2004. Rotterdam ferry port covers an area of 40 kilometres, from the centre of the city to the North Sea.
Rotterdam is now the second largest city in the Netherlands but was established in the 13th century, as a fishing village where fishermen used to unload their catch of herring. The first harbours where constructed between 1600 and 1620 and it has developed into one the world's most important junctions when it comes to passenger and cargo traffic.
For the tourist Rotterdam has lots to offer - this multi cultural city has some of the best clubs, hotels and restaurants in Holland and is currently undertaking a renewal of many parts of the city with some eye catching new architecture including Central Station which is being transformed into a hypermodern passenger terminal and the Maastoren, which will be the tallest building in the Netherlands with a height of 165 metres. Shopping is also well catered in its covered arcades, cobbled streets and pedestrianised areas.
