Almost the entire historic city center was destroyed. Unlike other European cities, nothing that was destroyed was rebuilt. Hence the unique modern architecture that defines Rotterdam today.

Rotterdam Blaak is a railway and metro station in the centre of Rotterdam, if you're visiting Cube…read moreHouse or Markthal, you'll want to use this station as it's pretty much right outside. There is no public pass-through without a ticket for the railway part of the station, which is pretty much the case for all stations in the Netherlands, as NS require an OV-chipkaart. There are ticket machines right outside the main entrance to the railway part of the station. From the outside, the station reminds me a lot of Wembley Stadium with the arch going right above it, it can be a rather pretty photo-taking opportunity, with the arch, light rail tracks outside, and Cube House and Markthal in close proximity. All metro and railway services going into Rotterdam Blaak call at Rotterdam Centraal, the city's main station. Facilities inside the station are basic but as expected for a secondary station in a city. 3*

One of the oldest stations in the Netherlands, and one of three that have a secret royal waiting…read moreroom! This station serves all the through intercity train services that pass through den Haag, as opposed to Den Haag Centraal which while closer to the center of the city is a terminus station. This station doesn't have quite as many options for shops and restaurants as Den Haag Centraal but all the old regulars are here so you can pick up coffee or a sandwich before your train journey. Usually I'm just passing through this station on my way to Rotterdam, as it runs on the main Amsterdam-Rotterdam intercity route. You can also catch the international intercity to Brussels here.

The largest terminal station in the Netherlands, with easy connections to Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Schipol. The station opened in the 1970s yet feels fresh and modern, with the recent renovation that was completed in 2017. Unlike most train stations in the Netherlands, you are able to get to most of the shops without a ticket or OV-chipkaart to pass through, the layout in terms of separating the shops and platforms is much more thought out here. There is a Starbucks inside the station with a small seating area, as well as a SPAR just outside the station, perfect for picking up essentials ahead of your trip. Easy to get around the station, and then exit towards the exciting The Hague Center. I would have expected more seats outside of the businesses inside the station, to sit while waiting for the train. 4*
