[2025 Rotterdam Attraction] Travel Guide for Maritime Museum (Updated Jun)

It is a fantastic museum and a fine example of maritime heritage preservation. I suggest this museum on a rainy day as it's mostly indoors and takes several hours. The outdoor ship is great to explore and gives a glimpse of life back then. The indoor exhibits are detailed, well-kept, and informative. I especially like the 'curiosity' section. You can get a free audio guide. The building itself is cool to explore, and there is a nice cafe, locker, and toilets. If I remember entry, it was around 10 euros. #timetotravel #instatravel #europe
