Embark on an exciting journey through the port of Rotterdam at Portlantis, an experience centre nestled against the dunes on the edge of Maasvlakte 2. Discover how the port works, what it means for daily life, and what the future of the port looks like.

Experience the port in surprising ways. Your journey of discovery will include augmented reality, interactive games, a spectacular attraction that takes you on an incredible flight throughout the port, and all kinds of models of the most impressive seagoing vessels and the like.

Experience what it’s like to pilot a ship into port. Discover what’s in all those containers, how the port impacts your daily life, and how industry and shipping are becoming cleaner and more sustainable.

Hop aboard a port tour by boat or bus to see the port area up close. During these tours, a Portlantis guide tells you everything there is to know about the port of Rotterdam. You can also ask plenty of questions. Along the way, see the container terminals in full operation.

Pass by an offshore company, where you’ll see one of the world’s largest wind turbines in addition to the huge foundation piles for offshore wind turbines. Enjoy the view. You might even see a seal.

There is also lots to discover in and around the building. Climb the giant red stairs that frame the building to conquer the panoramic deck. Here you’ll enjoy fabulous views of the sea, beach and dunes, as well as the port. Information on the balustrade tells you all about what you are seeing around you. And just try putting your ear to the ‘sound catchers’, which capture the sound of activities further afield.

In the restaurant on the 4th floor, enjoy an extensive and tasty menu with a beautiful view of the North Sea and the port area. The restaurant offers not only a delicious cup of coffee with cake, but also exclusive sandwiches and scrumptious seasonal dishes.
