The Erasmus Bridge, affectionately nicknamed "De Zwaan" (The Swan) due to its sleek, graceful form, is the ultimate symbol of modern Rotterdam, representing the city's innovative spirit and resilience after WWII. Designed by Ben van Berkel, the 802 meter long structure is instantly recognizable by its single, 139 meter high asymmetrical pylon, which elegantly anchors its web of cables. Crucially, the traveler experience is unmatched when viewed from the water; passing directly beneath the bridge

**★★★★★ Graham Tranter — 5 months ago

A core viewing item for tourists is the Erasmusbrug with its sleek lines and modern design. Instantly recognizable. I especially wanted to walk here as i suspected it was near our cruise ship terminal and I wanted to know how to get here if we had any trouble with our shuttle transfers. We walked half way out for great views down the river/channel.

Additional photos were from our cruise ship sail away the next day, from the other side of the channel/river

**★★★★☆ Michelle Graham — 4 months ago

Super cool to see up close in person. However if you are short on time - it’s just as spectacular viewing from afar. Walking across this bridge doesn’t compare to walking across the Brooklyn Bridge (which is not to be missed in NYC). There wasn’t much to see or do around the Erasmus bridge.
