Spring in Rotterdam
The trees are getting greener, the days are getting longer and the sun is shining more and more: spring is here!

When you get tired, settle down for a picnic in one of our parks: from the hidden Historical Gardens of Schoonoord to the Dakpark with its rooftop view of the harbours.
