Rotterdam Centraal

The new station, completed in 2014, has a sharp stainless-steel roof that points toward the city centre like a blade and has become a signature piece of the city’s architecture.

Rotterdam Centraal was rebuilt and completed in 2014. Its north façade features a huge timber ceiling and a sloping stainless-steel roof that cuts toward the city centre like a blade. Inside, the station is spacious and bright, and its roof is covered in solar panels. It is a hub for high-speed, international and metro trains, and trains to Delft, The Hague and Amsterdam all depart from here, so you can start your architecture walk as soon as you step off the train.
