The Rise of Rotterdam

Discover the new immersive experience in Rotterdam. Experience how the city came to be.

New experience at the Euromast

The Rise of Rotterdam is the new immersive experience on the ground floor of the Euromast and part of Colourful Rotterdam. Here, you quite literally step into the story of the city. In two immersive rooms, you’ll experience how Rotterdam became what it is today: from water and mud to a colourful metropolis.

Rotterdam, Risen from the water

The story actually begins before the city even existed. At a time when the land was completely underwater. In 1270, a small group of people decided to build a dam in the River Rotte. In true Rotterdam style: no talking, just doing.

Step into the interactive room and immerse yourself in the past. Here, you’ll help the first Rotterdammers tame the river. Walk the water away and help build the dam.

A colourful panorama

We jump forward and arrive in 1960. Rotterdam is flourishing, both literally and figuratively. The Floriade comes to the city, marking the beginning of the Euromast’s construction.

Let yourself be carried away by the story of a city that keeps growing and changing. You’re standing in the middle of a panorama of progress: a bustling port, modern architecture, and people from all over the world.

This is where the Rotterdam we know today takes shape. International, multicultural, and constantly evolving.

What our visitors say

Mariska
It really was a spectacular trip from the middle stop to the very top, with very nice images of the Rotterdam area and much further. Spinning the Euroscope allowed you to get a good look at everything several times. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Rotterdam, for young and old alike!
Jane
Definitely recommended, excellent brunch. We were treated very kindly and the view was beautiful! After brunch, we went to the top of the Euromast. This was also well worth it. So very much enjoyed in a unique location!
Arjan
Dined here with a staff outing and had a 360-degree view of Rotterdam with the Euroscoop to 185 metres high. The weather was clear, so we had beautiful views. We had a group menu with a choice of meat, fish or vegetarian. Delicious food and served out smoothly for the whole group. The plates were served without any enquiry, the waitresses kept good track of what you ordered. Great!
