Editing Rotterdam (section)

===Things to see===
Rotterdam is the home to one of the oldest and nicest zoo's in the Netherlands, [http://www.blijdorp.nl/?lang=EN Diergaarde Blijdorp]

The world famous UNESCO World Heritage [http://www.kinderdijk.nl/index.html Kinderdijk] (a lot of dutch windmills in a beautiful landscape) is very near Rotterdam, there are even boat tours available from Rotterdam centre. The local hospitality community in Rotterdam usually organizes a bike tour in the summer or spring to this beautiful site.

Even though most historical parts of Rotterdam have been destroyed, there are some real nice historical parts to visit. For instance Delfshaven is a authentic and beautiful neighourhood where you will find the Pilgrimchurch but also many cozy bars and the only beer brewery in Rotterdam [http://www.pelgrimbier.nl/ Pelgrim]. You can try the beer on the bar of the brewery or take a tour. The name is Pelgrim, because the boat that took the Pilgrim fathers (first settlers in North America) left from Delfhaven and then to York.

Another magnificient building is the [http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_New_York_(Rotterdam) Hotel New York], this used to be the terminal for the famous Holland - America line, which transported many dutch that left to North America after the war to start a better life.
