Bursting with energy, Rotterdam is one of the world's largest ports and gateway to The Netherlands. Following Nazi invasion in 1940, most of the medieval city centre was levelled by intense bombing while much of the rest of the city was burnt down by subsequent fires. Few cities rebounded as quickly as Rotterdam which began to rebuild within weeks of the war’s end. Today, some of Europe's most bold, contemporary architecture can be found amid classic 19^th century buildings.
