Rotterdammers love to give nicknames to buildings, bridges and other landmarks in the city. You mentioned the Erasmusbridge (Erasmusbrug): The Swan - no, not 'bridge' added - (De Zwaan). At 1:14 and 1:42 - 1:45 to the left of the Cube Houses (Kubus woningen) you can see the grey building, nicknamed for rather obvious reasons, The Pencil (Het Potlood). At 5:32 - 5:39 the square Art Nouveau style building stands out. It was built in 1897 - 1898 and at the time was the tallest office building in Europe (43 meter / 141 ft high). Fortunately it survived the bombing by German airplanes on May 14, 1940. Its nickname is The White House (Het Witte Huis). At 5:19 - 5:30 the monument by Zadkine 'The Destroyed City' (De Verwoeste Stad) is a standing human figure with both hands aloft and head thrown back and a gaping hole in the chest, because 'the heart was bombed out of the city'. Its nickname became: John Hole (Jan Gat) in the true wry style of humor characteristic of Rotterdammers

I was in NL last month. I am so glad I was not in Amsterdam. I visited Rotterdam. Fantastic city. I went to the library and met some really nice, intelligent people. Just a wonderful day in a wonderful city. I will return. .... And I almost forgot: the women are beautiful.

You should go to Utrecht!! It’s basically Amsterdam, but smaller, quieter and WAY prettier. Also more historical than Rotterdam!

There are actually many local breweries in Rotterdam, not just de Pelgrim. There is Brouwerij Noordt, Kaapse Brouwers, Stadshavenbrouwerij, Vet&Lazy, and many more.
