Rotterdam, boat trip to Kinderdijk [HD]

The skyline of Rotterdam seen from the passengership 'Nehalennia'.
Rotterdam is the only high-rise city in the Netherlands with a true skyline. It houses several of the tallest structures in the Netherlands. It has a reputation in being a platform for architectural development and education through the Berlage Institute. Rotterdam is standing in the best European SkylineTop together with Frankfurt, London, Paris, Brussels, Moscow, and Warsaw.

The boat excursion with the 'Nehalennia' takes you from central Rotterdam to the village of Kinderdijk in about an hour, up the river 'Nieuwe Maas' and 'Lek'.

Kinderdijk (4:10) is home to the largest collection of windmills in the Netherlands. Since 1997, Kinderdijk's 19 windmills were added to UNESCO's World Heritage List as cultural monuments.

Nicely edited. I'm thinking about taking the same boat trip in 2 weeks when I'm in Rotterdam.
