Witness the solar eclipse from the best vantage point in Rotterdam.
Behold the natural wonder of 2026
The upcoming solar eclipse on August 12, 2026, calls for a truly unique location. For the first time since 1999, the Netherlands will witness a solar eclipse of this magnitude, with 90% of the Sun obscured by the Moon, transforming the sky into a spectacular display. It’s an experience you won’t want to miss. High above Rotterdam, the Euromast offers breathtaking panoramic views of the horizon, the River Nieuwe Maas, and the city’s iconic skyline. As the light gradually changes, you’ll have the best seat in the city, at the very top of the Euromast, to witness this extraordinary natural phenomenon.
Where else in Rotterdam can you experience the solar eclipse from a better vantage point?
This is a solar eclipse you have to witness with your own eyes. And what better place to experience it than from a location with breathtaking, unobstructed views stretching across the horizon? From the top of the Euromast, you’ll be high above the city, looking out towards Rotterdam’s iconic skyline as this extraordinary celestial event unfolds before you.
As the solar eclipse unfolds over Rotterdam, the city is transformed before your eyes. The skyline takes on a completely different character, the city seems to slow down, and the sky creates an unforgettable, almost magical backdrop. With Rotterdam at your feet and a drink in your hand, you’ll experience the solar eclipse like nowhere else. Sit back, take it all in, and enjoy this truly once-in-a-lifetime moment.
An even more spectacular solar eclipse than the one in 1999.
A total solar eclipse visible from the Netherlands is an exceptionally rare event. According to astronomers, an eclipse of this scale will not be visible from the Netherlands again until 2081. That makes the 2026 solar eclipse an experience you simply can’t afford to miss. It’s a unique opportunity to share an unforgettable natural spectacle with friends, family, or your partner. Witness the sky transform, create lasting memories together, and be part of a once-in-a-generation event.

As the rotating glass elevator ascends, you’ll enjoy breathtaking panoramic views while listening to fascinating stories about the city. Look through the glass floor and watch Rotterdam come to life beneath your feet.
