From the Rotterdam World / Places

Euromast

Hugh Maaskant’s observation tower rises above Het Park, pairing wide Rotterdam views with a clear statement of post-war engineering confidence.

Euromast

Why go

Euromast offers a direct elevated reading of Rotterdam's river, port and rebuilt skyline. Maaskant designed the concrete tower for the 1960 Floriade, placing its crow's-nest platform 96 metres above ground. The Space Tower added in 1970 extended the structure by another 85 metres, making the ascent a compact lesson in the city's vertical ambitions.

What to look for

  • Views across the Nieuwe Maas, central skyline and port approaches
  • The original crow’s-nest platform created for the 1960 Floriade
  • The Space Tower extension added above the 1960 structure in 1970

Useful to know

  • Choose a clear-weather window if long-distance views are the main reason for visiting.
  • Check current tickets and any access restrictions before setting out.
  • Combine the tower with a walk through Het Park or along Parkhaven.
