Aerial view of the Erasmus Bridge and the high-rise 'Manhattan on the Maas' immediately after takeoff.
Dordrecht
The oldest city in Holland, situated on an island surrounded by five rivers.
Biesbosch National Park

Request a window seat forward of the wing to capture the Rotterdam skyline without engine heat haze. The flight is very short (approx. 20-30 mins), so stay alert immediately after the 'cabin crew prepare for takeoff' signal. Morning flights provide excellent front-lighting on the Biesbosch waterways.
