Euromast to Undergo Renovation: A Transformation at 100 Metres High
We’ll be closing our doors after the Christmas holidays, but for a good reason. From 5 January to early April 2026, the Euromast will undergo a large-scale renovation. In the final phase of our multi-year transformation, the exterior of the crow’s nest will be refurbished, and the restaurant will be completely renovated. This way, we’re preparing for the future, inside and out.
The Final Step in Our Transformation
This isn’t the first renovation we’ve carried out in recent years. Since Magnicity took over, many improvements have been made with a forward-looking approach, from the Euroscoop and The Rise of Rotterdam to our renewed suites and boardroom. This final phase is the finishing touch: a thorough upgrade of the exterior and a brand-new restaurant concept.
Renovation at 100 Metres High
Renovating at such a height is complex work and requires skilled craftsmanship. The underside of the crow’s nest will be blasted, inspected, repaired where necessary and repainted. The mast of the Euroscoop will also receive a fresh coat of paint.
To carry out these works safely, a custom hanging platform will be built beneath the crow’s nest, and the Euroscoop will serve as a temporary lift installation for a working platform placed above the structure. Due to the additional strain on the structure and in the interest of safety, the Euromast will be completely closed to visitors during the renovation.
“These works are essential for preserving our iconic monument,” explains Leonie Staat, General Manager of the Euromast. “The Euromast was designed by Huig Maaskant as a symbol of progress and innovation. With this comprehensive renovation, we’re ensuring the building remains both safe and iconic for generations to come.”
A New Restaurant with a Rotterdam Identity
Alongside the external work, the restaurant will also receive a complete makeover. The new design will offer a fresh, contemporary look. We’ve chosen a concept that respects Maaskant’s monumental style while embracing the vibrant character of Rotterdam.
“With the revamped restaurant, we’re creating a space that embodies the spirit of Rotterdam: direct, modern and welcoming,” says Leonie. “Locals, tourists and business guests will experience the best of the city here – with great food, personal service and a breathtaking view of the skyline.”
Inspired by Maaskant’s vision and Rotterdam’s colourful character, the Euromast is renewing with respect for both the past and the future.
Ready for the Future
“The Euromast is more than just a monument, it’s a symbol of Rotterdam and an important part of Dutch heritage,” says Leonie. “This renovation is an investment in the future of this iconic building. We want to ensure the Euromast continues to shine for decades to come as Rotterdam’s proud observation tower, a place where visitors from around the world can enjoy the unique experience this landmark has to offer.”
We’ll reopen in spring 2026, welcoming guests to a renewed Euromast – where history and future meet. Ready to inspire every generation with the most stunning view in the Netherlands. Want to experience the Euromast before our temporary closure? You can visit us until Sunday 4 January 2026.
