    Afternoon: Visit the Anne Frank House, where Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis during World War II. Get a glimpse of what life was like for them and learn about their tragic story. Plan ahead and book your tickets online to avoid long queues.

    Afternoon: Visit the Euromast Tower, an iconic observation tower that provides a panoramic view of Rotterdam and its surroundings. For thrill-seekers, try the zip wire or abseiling from the top of the tower.

Recommendations
