A hidden gem in Rotterdam! UNESCO World Heritage, Van Nelle Factory, is absolutely underrated. It was built between 1925-1931 as a factory producing tobacco, tea and coffee. Since the location is closed to the canal, it facilitated the transport very easily. After the factory ceased production, it became a UNESCO world heritage for its unique design and construction. Now, it is a huge building with different office spaces. Everyone is welcome to come and check it out, you can walk around freely inside the factory.

A short pass through of this place. It’s a small area but quiet enough for a short stop over. If i was a bit more energetic (and healthier) today , i would have spent more time here. Will definitely add to my list for a deeper visit when i come back next time.

Our last tourist attraction in Rotterdam before starting our overnight bus ride to Frankfurt! The cube houses are the iconic features of Rotterdam. I can’t imagine how people place their furniture in these houses.
