Rotterdam is becoming every year more popular than the last. Many tourists taking day trips from Amsterdam, booking a whole weekend trip or arriving on one of the many cruise ships that stop within the harbour. It’s also a city that is becoming just as expensive as Amsterdam to live, since there are more people choosing Rotterdam as their home city.
I have lived in Rotterdam for 7 years in July 2018 and love that I call Rotterdam my home sweet home location.Â
