Rotterdam is one of the big cities in The Netherlands. The place offers beautiful architect & pleasant sceneries. Rotterdam is mainly famous for its cubicle houses which are unique figures in the town.
The city was completely devastated during the world war II & since then things have changed drastically, modern architect is a living proof of the same.
The city is not far from Amsterdam & is suitable for a couple of days tour. I covered the city in a day's time & seen most of the attractions. But, if you like the city you can stay for a longer period.

Cost Involved:
Food: Expect to pay something around 5 Euros for decent food at food joints. However, if you want to keep the cost down, try buying the food from supermarket.Commutation: The best & cheapest way to roam around city is by renting a bicycle. The city is not big thus it is easy to cover by bicycle. Another option is walking. I preferred walking around the city as it allows me to experience the city.
Trams are fastest public mode of transportation. The price for one hour ticket is 3 Euros. 1 to 3 day transport pass is available which is good option if you are going to use too much public transportation.
I stayed for a single day. Hence, I am not suggesting any daily budget. However, above is the broad expenses during the trip which should be taken into account while calculating expenses. Below is the link from where you can book your stay. Stayokay Hostel is located near the cube house which are perfect for few days.
I am a very big fan of Go Pro & Iphone. I clicked all the photos through them only. While capturing moments it is tough to find ideal
conditions. However, handy equipments can help you during hours of need. I trust Go Pro for the same. You can buy both
the items from here.
