Overview
Built in 1960 and standing 185m tall, the Euromast is Rotterdam's highest observation tower. Originally built at 101m for the 1960 Floriade, a Space Tower was added in 1970 to reach its current height. The observation deck offers 360-degree views of Rotterdam's port and skyline. Adventurous visitors can abseil or zipline from 100m. A slowly rotating capsule at the top provides panoramic views on the ascent. Admission about EUR 12.50. 5-minute walk from Tram 8 Euromast stop.
