The sun sets behind some of the Wilhelminapier towers on my second and final evening in Rotterdam.

From the cityguiderotterdam.com website : "Wilhelminapier is a small peninsula, located at the south bank of the river Maas at the foot of the Erasmus Bridge. One modern building after another has risen here since the beginning of the new millennium and this makes Wilhelminapier the icon of modern Rotterdam!
You will find many striking buildings at Wilhelminapier and it's certainly worth a visit. One of the eye-catchers is the beautiful New Luxor Theatre, where many famous Dutch and international artists perform. The well-known Hotel New York can be found at the end of Wilhelminapier as well. This hotel used to be the headquarters of the Holland America Line (HAL), but now you can relax here at their outdoor terrace and enjoy the great view at the river Maas.
Rotterdam Skyscraper City
Above all Wilhelminapier is known for its skyscrapers. The Montevideo tower (152 meter), the World Port Center (124 meter) and the New Orleans tower (160 meter) are all clustered closely together, like in Manhattan, New York. The icing on the cake is a brand new building De Rotterdam, the biggest building of the Netherlands. "
