Oude Haven & Witte Huis
Oude Haven
Rotterdam's oldest harbour basin, lined with historic barges and the 1898 Witte Huis, one of Europe's earliest skyscrapers.
Oude Haven is the city's earliest port, and today its basin is filled with historic barges, while the open-air bars along the quay get lively in summer. The Witte Huis on the waterfront was built in 1898 and stands about 45 metres tall. It is considered one of Europe's first skyscrapers and is one of the few buildings that survived the WWII bombing. It sits next to the Cube Houses and the Blaak Tower, so it is easy to link them into one walking route.
