The museum saves masterpieces such as Vermeer's "View of Delft" and "Girl with a Pearl Earring," Rembrandt's breakthrough work "The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp," as well as works by Rubens. The museum's collection provides an excellent showcase of the people, landscapes, customs, and daily life during the Dutch Golden Age. The museum houses approx. 200 permanent exhibits on display. Though small in scale, it can be comfortably explored in one to two hrs. Visitors typically enter and exit through the lobby of the new building across the street, accessing the old hall via a round-trip underground passage.

This windmill group is one of the two largest windmill groups in the Netherlands, but most tourists go to the windmill group near Amsterdam. This windmill group is relatively close to Rotterdam, and guests on Viking cruises are usually taken here for a visit. Viking cruises can dock very close to the attractions, so it is very labor-saving for tourists. Here you can not only take pictures outside the windmill, but also enter the windmill to see how it works.

I traveled to a city specifically for a painting. I went to The Hague just to see the masterpiece, "Girl with a Pearl Earring," in person. Compared to large museums, I personally prefer this art gallery; it's small, exquisite, and fulfilling, leaving a deep and unforgettable impression.

Of course it's worth coming here. It's super clean. Whether you're shopping for small things or buying souvenirs to bring back to relatives and friends, you can always buy what you need. Of course, there are also various delicacies, such as cheese, donuts, various chocolates, sausages... Our favorite is fried fish (Bakje kibbeling), which we must buy every time.

Old Harbour in Rotterdam is a charming and historical area that should not be missed. The picturesque harbor, surrounded by old buildings, creates a unique atmosphere that is perfect for a leisurely stroll or a romantic evening out. There are plenty of cafes and restaurants to choose from, and the nearby Maritime Museum is a great spot to learn about the city's seafaring history.
