Holland's most modern city began as a fishing village in the 13th century. It was developing into an industrial and trading power when German bombers destroyed the city center and harbor in 1940. However, Rotterdam's unique architecture now brings many visitors to bike around this urbane, cosmopolitan city. Old Dutch-style houses can still be found in historic Delfshaven, from where the pilgrims set sail in 1620. Cultural offerings from summer's carnival to classical music give Amsterdam competition.

The Sint Laurenskerk is from the Middle Ages. From April to October free (give a small donation) organ concert every Tuesday. Concert starts at 12.45 pm ends at 1.30 pm. The organ is huge and the sound is fantastic. Before you visit the church take a stroll on the market (Tuesdays and Saturdays)on The Grote Kerk Plein.

Incredible building, especially since it is a church. The buildings next to it make it even more awesome.
