Rotterdam was first mentioned in 1283. It received city rights in 1299, and developed significantly in the 17th and 18th centuries through trade with France and England or the shipping industry. Rotterdam's seaport already played a significant role in the life of the city and still impresses today with its size and capabilities.
If you want to get to know Rotterdam, start your tour with the Gothic St. Lawrence Church, one of the most distinctive buildings, also one of the oldest, but which suffered significantly during the Luftwaffe carpet raids of 1940 - its walls and tower survived then. Today, in addition to its beautiful facade, the church's interior is worth seeing, with its historic altars and tombs. The city also boasts a number of museums full of valuable art collections. Particularly noteworthy is the large Boijmans Van Beuningen museum collecting works by many famous artists, or the Kunsthal Art Museum, which hosts temporary and thematic exhibitions.
Rotterdam is a city that is constantly vibrant. There you can find numerous clubs, discos and pubs, plus there are many events, concerts and festivals. In the summer there is a good chance that you will come across one of the numerous open-air performances, and in the winter - a fair or Christmas market.

The city has five subway lines, as well as streetcars and buses, so getting around Rotterdam and other towns in the metropolitan area in the western Netherlands should not be a problem.

In Elk you will find two city beaches, both of which are sandy, although in truth in high season it will probably be difficult to find even a meter of free space anyway. There is also a sizable park, several children's playgrounds and a bunch of playrooms. Elk also has an interesting museum, offering, among other things, a ride on a narrow-gauge train.
