According to the Huffington Post
It may play second fiddle to Amsterdam, but Rotterdam—the Netherlands second-largest city—pulses with its own unique brand of creative energy. Mixing urban grit with shiny new architecture, the aesthetically edgy port town boasts a booming art, design and food scene that’s well worth exploring.
A great time to visit is now, during Art Rotterdam Week (Feb. 8-12), when art and design fairs, open studios and live performances pop up all over town.
