Watching this video brings back fond memories of the year I spent from 1992-1993 when I lived in Rotterdam when I was in the U.S Army! Was supposed to live there for 3 years but my husband got sick and we had to come back to the States.
Thank you. I fly with KLM and have 8 hours layover. I've already been in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, reachable within 30 minutes from AMS seams to be a good alternative to sitting in lounge all day long.
@@theTravellers, Gouda is a bit further by train and I want to have at least 5 hours in the point of interest, arriving at the airport 2 hours before my flight. I expect to spend in total not more than 80 EUR, so taxi is too expensive for me.
This seems to be a very interesting place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
We'd be happy if you book your hotel via our link: www.booking.com/index.en-gb.html?aid=1169080;sid=177a7973fd502a322c50293212abb2a8;dcid=4;sb_price_type=total&;lang=en-gb;cdl=de It does not cost you one cent more but we can some money from Booking.com ;-)
I love your videos. I watch both versions weil ich Deutsch kann. In fact, I was in Germany in May. You need to do a Munich in 5 minutes. Let me know when you get to America and you can do Boston in five minutes which is where I live. Gute Reise.
I habe in San Francisco gewohnt. San Francisco its (in meiner Meinung) die schönste Stadt in USA. You must see Chinatown, ride a cable car, see Alcatraz Prison, see the sea lions at Pier 39, see Golden Gate Park, see the Castro and walk on the Golden Gate Bridge.
@@charlesponzi9608 Howcome Rotterdam was mentioned in the New York Times and Lonely Planet as a must visit city and howcome tourism, economics and inhabitents are growing fast last 10 years when all the buildings are ugly? Maybe you are wrong and just like to bash the city?

Rotterdam no longer feels like a European city.
Rotterdam is the ugliest city in The Netherlands. Five minutes at the train station is more than enough time to purchase a one-way ticket to a more charming and beautiful city such as Leiden, Delft, Dordrecht or Breda.
That's your opinion, I definitely don't agree. Rotterdam has a great vibe and there is lots to see and do. The only city in NL that feels like a big city, the rest of the cities look pretty much the same. I like the raw edge and modern architecture in Rotterdam.
@@jordi1090 I might feel less hostile towards the new buildings if Rotterdam was a brand new city built in Flevoland. Rotterdam, however, has a long history and tradition--something that is not reflected in the new architecture.
@@jordi1090 Cities should reflect the history and culture of the people who live there. It should not be surprising that most Dutch cities look similar because they are a reflection of the local geography, history and culture. The nice thing about The Netherlands is that one does not have to travel very far before entering another country with its own very different and distinctive architecture and culture. One might argue that all modern cities look pretty much the same no matter where they are located on the globe. In our modern world, many places are all starting to look and sound the same. The clothing, food, music, entertainment, language and buildings are all merging into one. Yes, pretty damn boring.
@@charlesponzi9608 I see your point, but no city in the world looks like Rotterdam. So it is still unique. I think in Europe only Frankfurt can be compared a little bit if you look at the amount of towers in the city center. And at this moment old Dutch architecture is already replacing ugly buildings in Rotterdam. You can google "Prachtig Kralingen" or "de Kaapvaarder" as example. Also "Little C" is a beautiful project. ruclips.net/video/GMdvogyraME/видео.html Anyway, I like that Rotterdam is different, gives some variety.
@@theTravellers I think he misses the Rotterdam from before the Nazi bombing, I think we all do (allthough we've never seen it in real). After the bombing and because of the fast growing industry, people needed homes quick and cheap. So Rotterdam was full of it. Only recently popularity is growing fast because of some beautiful projects. That, in combination with the raw edge, makes it a very interesting city. And lots of great new projects are in planning now and some under construction already. Beautiful old Rotterdam: ruclips.net/video/pOvq93HAyeE/видео.html
@@theTravellers Venice has beautiful old buildings. Rotterdam has mostly ugly depressing modern buildings completely lacking in charm, elegance and beauty. The Germans bombed us, but our Dutch architects completely ignored and betrayed our history and culture. How I envy the citizens of Munich who had their lovely city rebuilt. These ugly new buildings in Rotterdam should have been built in the new province of Flevoland where there is not local history or culture to protect.

Great vidéo, I love modern architecture and Rotterdam is on my list.
Great! Thank you! Rotterdam has nice modern architecture!
Thank you. I fly with KLM and have 8 hours layover. I've already been in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, reachable within 30 minutes from AMS seams to be a good alternative to sitting in lounge all day long.
Hey! Well... in 8 hrs you could also drive quickly a small Dutch city near the airport. Have you for example ever been to Gouda?

Rotterdam is indeed a very nice and modern city, not comparable to Amsterdam, since it's less touristy. The Hague is also very nice!
After Amsterdam I will visit Rotterdam, I will be staying in the Cube House, great!
Perfect! Enjoy it! And after Rotterdam? :-)
@@theTravellers The Hague and Brussels.
Very nice!
Nice! Rotterdam is a great city. Amazing how they developped after a complete destruction in WW2
Great video A very interesting city. Worth a visit sometime.
Thank you Andrew! You have to visit it, if you're travelling around in Europe.

Danke für deine Tipps! Wir freuen uns sehr auf unsere USA-Tour!
What’s the Charlie like?
If you want to have a nice lunch/diner go to one of the restaurants of the 'oude haven'. Cheers from Rotterdam!
Thank you! We will try the Restaurant next time ;-)
Piekny Rotterdam i ładne nagranie pozdrawiam z Polski.

So are you two a couple?
Yes, we are :) And what about the Rotterdam video? Do you like it?
Bestaat zo een filmpje over rotterdam in het Nederlands?
We hebben een film in het Duits en Engels.
Rotterdam is cheaper than Amsterdam?
Yes, it is. Rotterdam is less touristic.
@@theTravellers I guess most tourists don't like ugly buildings.

@@theTravellers Rotterdam map in Battlefield 5 game 😃
Wow these guys are a bit odd.
Hope it's better than that
What do you mean?! :-D
Reminds me of the old japanese movies with american voices dubbed in..nothing matches up and looks totally stupid. Can't even do that right.
