Copenhagen is one of the easiest European capitals to fall in love with. The sights of old buildings, cobbled streets and the tower- and turret-dotted skyline lend fairy-tale charm—this was, after all, the home of author Hans Christian Andersen. But make no mistake: This is a thoroughly modern city with international clout.

Restaurants around the world draw inspiration from the New Nordic cuisine pioneered by Noma and other Copenhagen restaurants, while Danish design from this century and the last is universally admired and coveted. Urban planners flock here to try to work out just how the city remains so livable and yet so functional, and despite its wealth of old buildings, Copenhagen’s not locked in the past; there are also thrilling examples of modern architecture.

Copenhagen is a city that’s easy to find things to do and explore on foot or by excellent public transport, where everyone speaks perfect English, the food is fresh and innovative, and there’s plenty of locally brewed beer—which, of course, is best enjoyed sitting by the water on a sunny day.

Rotterdam is al meer dan 700 jaar een belangrijke havenstad. In combinatie met de aangrenzende internationale Europoort is het een van de drukste havens ter wereld. Het stadscentrum werd tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog zwaar gebombardeerd en heeft niet veel historische architectuur (met uitzondering van de vruchten van de sobere, experimentele naoorlogse wederopbouw). Maar mooie oude architectuur is te vinden in andere wijken van de stad, zoals Delfshaven, waar 18e-eeuwse huizen te zien zijn. Museum Boymans-Van Beuningen bezit een indrukwekkende collectie Europese kunst. Geniet van het uitzicht vanaf hoger gelegen terrein bij de 60 verdiepingen tellende Space Tower en wandel langs het autovrije winkelgebied Lijnbaan.
Nu biedt zij vele moderne mogelijkheden. Neem bv. een fietstaxi en laat uw Rotterdamse gids u van alles zien en vertellen! Bezoek de oude Delfshaven uit 1389 en stap in een van de bruine cafes, leuke winkels of aanschouw de stadsbierbrouwer die hier is gevestigd. Ga naar de Markthal en ontdek een van de diverse lekkernijen. Of loop langs de iconische kubuswoningen en sta versteld van dit apart stukje Nederlandse architectuur.
