About Rotterdam

Rotterdam is the Netherlands' second largest city. Situated on the banks of the river Nieuwe Maas, Rotterdam port was the busiest in the world during the period of 1962-2004. The name Rotterdam derives from a dam in the Rotte river. The harbour is an important point for transporting bulk materials to and from Europe making it a key trading centre. This city is known as the "Gateway to Europe" because of its large transportation network, which includes rail, roadways, and waterways. The thriving shipping sector draws a lot of business travellers, and this influx increases the demand for serviced apartments in Rotterdam. We offer a large selection of apartments in Rotterdam in both the north and south of the city divided by the Nieuwe Maas River.
