Erasmusbrug

The Erasmusbrug, located along the banks of the River Maas in Rotterdam, Netherlands, is an iconic cable-stayed bridge that spans 800 metres and is the largest bridge of its kind in the Netherlands. Its design is extremely impressive, featuring two curved steel towers and two uniquely flat pathways leading across the bridge. From components of the bridge, one can enjoy breathtaking views of the Rotterdam and the surrounding skyline, including the iconic Erasmus Bridge itself. On the south side of the bridge is the emblematic Markthal building, which includes a giant food hall, café, and stunning architecture. The nearby park and waterfront also add to the unique atmosphere of the area, and visitors can take boat trips along the river or explore the surrounding street art. A remarkable feature of the bridge is its lighting, which has 7500 LED lights that change colour depending on the time of day or week. This spectacular site has become an iconic symbol of Rotterdam and is a must-see for all visitors to the city.
