Montevideo Skyscraper
The next ranking position belongs to one of the tallest buildings in Rotterdam - the Montevideo Skyscraper. It is a 140-meter building on the banks of the river Maas, inside which many offices, commercial and residential areas are located. The modernist skyscraper has a modern architecture and consists of several blocks combined in a single harmonious composition. The building's logo, in the form of the letter "M" on the roof of the skyscraper, simultaneously serves as a weather vane, reflecting the speed and direction of the wind. The excellent panorama of the building, in combination with the surrounding views of the city and river, makes Montevideo one of the most emblematic and recognizable buildings in Rotterdam.

Church of St. Lawrence
The church once belonged to the Protestant congregation, and it's the only building in Rotterdam that survives from the Middle Ages. The church originally bore the name of St. Elizabeth, the patroness of the poor. During World War II, the temple building was substantially destroyed by two bombs, but managed to survive. Restored later, the temple became a cathedral and took the name of the city's patron saint, St. Lawrence. The non-standard approach to the use of the inner space of the shrine is surprising - for example, there is a café, exhibitions are held here, and the flames of candles are replaced by numerous electric lights.

Boijmans van Beuningen Museum
The history of one of the largest museums in Rotterdam began in the mid-19th century, when the lawyer and collector Boymans bequeathed his art collection to Rotterdam. The museum itself was only founded in the early 19th century and opened its doors to visitors in 1935. Later, the museum's exposition was complemented by the collection of another art lover - the entrepreneur Boehningen. It is these two collections that make up the core of the museum's exposition. Today, the gallery contains a variety of art objects from the early Middle Ages to the present day.

Delfshaven
This district is one of the best attractions in Rotterdam and justifiably so, since it still preserves the spirit of pre-war antiquity - most of its buildings survived the military bombing and by some miracle survived. Just by being here, you can imagine how looked like Rotterdam 200-300 years ago. In the antique shops you can buy valuable art, and in the cozy restaurants and pubs - relax and have lunch. You can enjoy a leisurely stroll through the streets of Delphshaven - visit an old brewery, get in touch with antiquity by visiting the deck of the ship Delft, or visit the Church of the Pilgrim Fathers.

Rotterdam city hall
The city hall, which for a century was the seat of the city government, was badly damaged during World War II, and the remnants of the building were eventually restored to its former appearance. In the 90s the town hall building was declared a state monument, it is distinguished by its unusual decor with an abundance of images and sculptures. On the second floor of the Town Hall there is a hall for various magnificent receptions and ceremonies; weddings are often celebrated there.
