Designed by Ben van Berkel and opened in 1996the Erasmusbrug is a must-see icon in the city.

Reviews Erasmusbrug
“Really informative tour that took me around all of the key sites and was great value for money too!”
“Leuke tocht. Soms is de richting niet helemaal duidelijk. Aantal meters neemt wel af is wordt meer, maar welke richting is niet altijd even duidelijk, maar we hebben het gered.”
