A little about Rotterdam.

The Rotterdam area is best known as "Rotterdam-Rijnmond".If you translate Rijnmond is literally means "the Rhine's mouth", referring to Rotterdam's location at the end of the Rhine-delta and its economic position as Europe's main port. The city was completely destroyed by the German Luftwaffe in 1940. The re building over the years has made Rotterdam become the seventh largest port in the world in terms of cargo traffic. It is also considered as the largest port in Europe.
