Embark on the Rotterdam Audio Tour: Art, Innovation & Hidden Gems of the Centrum

A single surrealist painting still whispers clues to a vanished Rotterdam buried beneath modern glass. Streets alive with striking architecture hold memories darker than their bright facades suggest.

Take this self-guided audio tour through the heart of Rotterdam Centrum and uncover stories lurking in plain sight. Walk at your own pace between bold icons and overlooked corners, discovering the city behind the city.

What secret coded messages were hidden inside the walls of Erasmus MC during a time of crisis? Who vanished forever behind the elegant windows of Sonneveld House—and why did nobody ever speak of it again? What scandal once rocked Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, exposing an artist's obsession literally dripping from the canvas?

Move through soaring spaces and shadowed alleyways. Feel the pulse of rebellion, scandal, and artistic revolution as history leaps up beneath your feet. Every step shifts your view.

Ready to unlock Rotterdam’s hidden stories? Press play and let the journey begin.
