History matters

Would you like to know more about the development of Rotterdam? In this tour, we’re going to focus on tales about the colonial past. We’ll be taking you past both historic places from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and modern buildings from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Welcome to today’s Rotterdam.

Tourguides Nyanga Weder, Wim Reijnierse and Dewi Reijs are your guides to this ultra-diverse city. They won’t be telling the stories of rich people and naval heroes – they already get plenty of attention.  They want to create a narrative with many different voices. During our walk, we’ll come across traces of social development, struggles and emancipation.
