Antwerp & Brussels

Rotterdam Skyline
Exceptional views of the Erasmus Bridge and modern skyscrapers when the flight approaches RTM from the east.
The right side is ideal for capturing the Mediterranean exit. During the descent, this side usually offers the iconic view of Rotterdam’s modern architecture. In winter, the low sun from the south-west makes the right side particularly bright, so have sunglasses ready for the final 30 minutes.
