Take in Rotterdam from above and relax in the world-class restaurant
The Euromast is the iconic observation tower in Rotterdam. It stands at 185 metres (607 feet) tall and offers amazing panoramic views of the city and beyond, making it one of Rotterdam's most popular tourist attractions.
Designed by Dutch architect Hugh Maaskant, it was constructed between 1958 and 1960. The tower was actually initially only 101 metres tall, but in 1970, they added the Space Tower and increased its height to 185 metres, and in doing so, they made it the tallest building in Rotterdam!
The tower was built to celebrate the 1960 Floriade flower and garden exhibition in the Netherlands, with the Euromast's sleek, modern design reflecting the optimistic spirit of the post-war era.
The Euromast’s observation deck stands at 96 metres, offering a 360-degree view of Rotterdam's skyline, the busy port, and the surrounding landscape. On clear days, you can see as far as The Hague and even Antwerp in Belgium!
For an even higher vantage point, you can opt to go in the Euroscoop which is a rotating glass elevator that takes you to the top of the Space Tower at 185 metres! You can sit and enjoy the incredible views and for those brave enough, look down through the glass floor - or press the button to cover it up!
The Euromast also has a brasserie located at 96 metres (booking is required), where you can enjoy a meal or a drink while taking in the amazing views! Or, for those brave enough, the Euromast even offers the chance to abseil down it!
