Rotterdam, Netherlands

A skyline rebuilt almost entirely from scratch after the war into some of Europe's boldest modern architecture, cube houses tilted at forty-five degrees that people genuinely live in, and a harbour still among the busiest on the continent.

The best time to visit Rotterdam is Apr–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 22°C (72°F).
