Tower Story
The Euromast is Rotterdam’s icon. At 185 meters high, it’s the highest watchtower in the Netherlands and an essential part of the skyline of the city. Enjoy your visit to Euromast for a lunch, dinner, high tea or high wine at 100 meters in the brasserie. In the Deli restaurant on the ground floor, you’ll find the best coffee in Rotterdam and enjoy delicious fresh and homemade treats. For the youngsters amongst you, there’s lots to do at the Euromast. Children can go on a space tour adventure, together with the Euromast mascots Rox, Ziza, and NomNom.
