The Netherlands is home to many marvels of modern architecture, and some of them happen to be located in its second-largest city of Rotterdam. Here are some of the most astonishing contemporary buildings you can find in this charming Dutch city.
Cube Houses
One of the symbols and the most popular landmarks of Rotterdam, the Cube Houses were built by the famous Dutch architect Piet Blom. His main goal was to optimize the space inside by designing the houses this way, but their unusual exterior is the first thing most people notice.
Market Hall
Located just across the street from Cube Houses, Rotterdam’s Market Hall is also a sight to behold. Since opening its doors at the current location in 2016, this horseshoe-shaped building with striking glass façade and gray walls became a huge hit with photographers from all around the world.
Rotterdam Central Station
Another stunning contemporary building that’s been around since 2014, Rotterdam Central Station will get you excited for your next train ride. It’s instantly recognizable, even from a distance, thanks to its boomerang-like shape.
