Are you in Holland, if I remember correctly? I'm making a trip to Rotterdam (#10) in May. I've been to Amsterdam several times, but this will be my first trip to Holland outside of it.

Yep, I live in the north of the Netherlands. Rotterdam is an interesting city. I heard someone say that Rotterdam was bombarded by two forces: the Nazis and architects.

I'd recommend a detour to Delft, it has an idyllic city centre, a great history of art and is a better representation of Dutch cities than Amsterdam. Only 13 minutes by train from Rotterdam. Delft station is undergoing a massive overhaul though, might be wise to look up where you'd want to go.
