Rotterdam has a tourists to locals ratio of just over 1:1 unlike its neighbour Amsterdam which has a ratio of 20 tourists to every local. Having been pretty much completely re-built after the war, Rotterdammers with their “can do” attitude, embarked upon building a modern, well connected and beautiful city with environmental and sustainability practices as a priority. Today, it is an ultra modern city with environmental characteristics which are the envy of many global leading cities.
I spoke with Fabian Lindner of Rotterdam Partners to learn more about this wonderful city, it’s people and it’s attractions during the low seasons.
