Destination
Rotterdam
🕐 Local time
Rotterdam is the Netherlands' second city, rebuilt after the war with a boldness found nowhere else in Europe: the Cube Houses, the Markthal, the Erasmus Bridge. The queer scene is compact and warm — from drag nights on Witte de Withstraat to the bars off Westblaak — and Rotterdam Pride in late September closes Europe's Pride season.
