Erasmusbrug (Erasmus Bridge)

Linking north and south Rotterdam across the River New Meuse, the Erasmus Bridge (Erasmusbrug) stands as one of the city’s most notable landmarks. Opened in 1996, the bridge is distinguished by its single, angled pylon, which gives it the nickname ‘The Swan’ (De Zwaan). This architectural feature, combined with the sleek, modern design, makes the bridge a striking sight. Visitors can walk or cycle across the bridge, enjoying panoramic views of the river and the city skyline.
