Old Harbour Rotterdam at night with the Willemsbrug reflected in the water
The old harbour is created around 1350 as a result of the damming of the river Rotte; this makes it the oldest harbour in Rotterdam. Since then, this area has been a precursor of commerce and development, with shipping at the center. To this day, you can still find historic ships here, often part of the nearby Maritime Museum. The Willemsbrug is a bridge next to the Erasmusbrug in the centre of Rotterdam, spanning the Nieuwe Maas. It links the northern part of the city with the Noordereiland and in combination with the Koninginnebrug the district of Feijenoord.
