When you say Holland, you probably think of Amsterdam. But Holland has other places which are just as interesting, places such as Rotterdam for example . Rotterdam is the second city of Holland, population wise, and it has the largest port of Europe and the third largest port of the World behind Sjanghai and Singapore.

There is also a big lookout tower called the Euromast from where you can see a big part of the city. Rotterdam is also becoming a big event city, with a yearly event called Bavaria City racing. Where the city centre is closed for traffic and Formula 1 cars and other vehicles give demonstrations.

Another big event planned for next year is the Red Bull Air Race. The Red Bull Air Race is an airplane race that takes place over the entire world in only 10 chosen areas, where only the best pilots in the world compete against each other. The Red Bull Air Race is planned for 19 and 20 July 2008.

To get to Rotterdam, the best way is to take a train from Amsterdam. It will take about a hour to get there. Rotterdam also has 2 metro lines and several tram lines that take you through the entire city. If you are travelling to Rotterdam but want to stay in Amsterdam, check out Amsterdam apartments, or search by apartments type in Amsterdam.
