Euromast

About

Euromast is one of Rotterdam’s most recognisable landmarks, rising above the city skyline as a symbol of ambition and modern design. Built in 1960 for the Floriade exhibition, the tower originally stood 101 metres tall, later extended to 185 metres with the addition of the Space Tower in 1970. Its observation deck offers sweeping views over the Maas, the port, and Rotterdam’s ever‑changing architecture, making it a favourite destination for both locals and visitors. The rotating Euroscoop lift provides a smooth, panoramic ascent to the top, adding a sense of spectacle to the experience. At its base, the surrounding park and waterside paths create a peaceful contrast to the tower’s height. With its blend of history, engineering, and unforgettable vistas, the Euromast remains one of the city’s most iconic places to explore.
