Tour of the Old Harbour, Leuvehaven and Central Station

This walking route through the historic heart of Rotterdam starts at Café Postiljon. At the Oude Haven you will pass the world-famous Cube Houses. At number 70 you can view one from the inside. You will also see the Dutch White House here: a 45-metre high office building from 1898. At the time, it was the first skyscraper in Europe. The Kraneschipbrug, a pontoon bridge, offers you a beautiful view of the ships in the historic Leuvehaven and the Maritime Museum a little later. You walk back via the new Central Station, one of the architectural icons of Rotterdam. A number of historical elements of the old station building from 1957 by Sybold van Ravesteyn have been preserved, such as the original clock on the front facade and the'speculaasjes\\\': two granite sculptures on platform 1.
