Industrial Tourism Rotterdam

Rotterdam and its 24-hour economy more than merit a visit. For those who do not have business links with the port of Rotterdam, Industrial Tourism Rotterdam offers the opportunity of taking a look behind the scenes in the port by boat or coach. This is an excellent opportunity to see, in the company of expert guides, the impressive hustle and bustle at the ECT container terminal on the Maasvlakte, the Rotterdam Car Center and the Slufter, a depot on the Maasvlakte for contaminated sludge from the harbour. Another option is a visit to the Maritime Museum Rotterdam or the Museum of Fisheries in Vlaardingen.

Tailor-made programme

If desired, you can draw up your own tour specifying the companies you would like to visit. You will be accompanied by guides specialised in the various fields. Industrial Tourism Rotterdam provides programmes for half-days and whole days, optionally including overnight accommodation and theatre and concert visits.
