How do you escape the city bustle in the middle of Rotterdam? North Island is a hidden beacon of calm. But ssst, our secret!
If you are looking for the peace and quiet that Rotterdam also has to offer, this is the place to be. Here you can recover from all the impulses of the city. The inhabited island in the Nieuwe Maas is conveniently connected to the north bank by the bright red Willemsbrug. Via the short Queen's Bridge you can walk straight to Zuid. The spacious Ons Park is the place to be. Walk up the dyke and you can look straight into the historic Hefbrug. From the quays, the city skyline is unsurpassed; especially from the tip of the island you have a beautiful view of the Swan, as the Erasmus Bridge is also called. In summer, you can dine on the old bridgehead of the former Maas bridges.
