Netherlands - Rotterdam - Canal 02_DSC8866

Whenever I go on these dedicated photo trips I like to stay somewhere cheap but central. My hotel in Rotterdam was just behind Centraal Station a short walk along this canal. The hotel was basic but then that's you expect when you pay 40 Euros a night for a single room including breakfast........

From Wikipedia : "Rotterdam is a city in the Netherlands, in South Holland within the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt river delta at the North Sea. Its history goes back to 1270, when a dam was constructed in the Rotte river, after which people settled around it for safety. In 1340, Rotterdam was granted city rights by the Count of Holland.

 

A major logistic and economic centre, Rotterdam is Europe's largest port, and has a population of 633,471 (2017), the second-largest in the Netherlands, just behind Amsterdam.

 

Rotterdam is known for the Erasmus University, its riverside setting, lively cultural life, and maritime heritage. The near-complete destruction of the city centre in the World War II Rotterdam Blitz has resulted in a varied architectural landscape, including sky-scrapers (an uncommon sight in other Dutch cities) designed by renowned architects such as Rem Koolhaas, Piet Blom, and Ben van Berkel."
