Unfortunately the Euroscoop was not working due to bad weather. However, once up at the tower, I could understand why - a mild breeze at ground level felt like a gale at tower level! I felt unable to stand straight for more than a few seconds at a time, and was too nervous to stand at the edge to take photos in case I dropped the phone!! I managed to calm my nerves by having a relxing drink at the cafe/brasserie, which was not only extremely relxing but also rather affordable. The whole visit was over in less than an hour, but I'm glad I went.

Such a great idea, however the weather wasn't great so the euroscope wasn't running and the stairs outside for the euromast were very slippery. If the weather was better our experience would've been so much better. The possible views are incredible on a clear day and such a great attraction given better conditions. The cafe is also beautiful with spectacular views.

Having visited Euromast more years ago than I would like to own up to, I was keen to share it with my partner during a recent visit to Rotterdam to celebrate his birthday. Needless to say, he was blown away by the whole experience, but thankfully not literally despite the windy conditions at the top! The entry procedure was efficient and we were soon into a lift and whisked to the first level. However the best was yet to come. At the next level we sat in a rotating glass enclosed “pod” that went round and up in a spiral fashion and then back down again giving an excellent and changing view of the city and port with a bi-lingual commentary. On the way down we could not resist the restaurant/café that also had an excellent view in addition to a nice menu and staff. Unusually, cash is not accepted anywhere in the building which may be worth bearing in mind if visiting with a prepaid ticket and no bank cards. We will be back to Rotterdam, with Euromast high on our itinerary.
