You have never seen the sunrise and sunset so beautiful over Rotterdam. In this article we share all the tips to visit the Euromast in Rotterdam!
Visit the Euromast: the icon of Rotterdam
In 1960, on the occasion of the Floriade, the world horticultural exhibition, the Euromast was built on the edge of Het Park and close to the Maas Tunnel. A strategic location for the traffic driving to the city center. From afar you could see the 107-meter high tower including the flagpole rising above the city. After more high-rise buildings appeared in the city, the Euromast was raised with the Space Tower in 1970. Again the Euromast was the tallest building in the city. Rotterdam. Meanwhile, Rotterdam's skyline is filled with iconic high-rise buildings and the Euromast is no longer the city's tallest building.
The name 'Euromast' was shared in Rotterdam newspapers as early as 1958. Euro because Rotterdam is in the heart of the Euromarket area and 'Mast' because this word is recognizable to many Europeans.
The Euromast's restaurant: dining at 100 meters high
At 100 meters high you will find the restaurant of the Euromast. Here you can enjoy delicious and surprising dishes. You can have lunch, brunch and dinner at the Euromast, but they also offer high teas and high wines! We tasted the high wine at the Euromast and would definitely recommend it! In addition, the restaurant also offers options to rent out rooms for parties and meetings. The restaurant is divided into several sections. Ask the staff for the best spot to experience a beautiful sunrise or sunset. Breathtaking it will be either way!
The dome in which the restaurant is located is also called the crow's nest. When the Euromast opened, two restaurants were located here: the Rottiserie with a first-class menu and the public restaurant. On the first floor you found a cafeteria where you could order microwave meals. In the place of the cafeteria you can still order coffee and some goodies today.
