De Maasvlakte

The Maasvlakte in Rotterdam is a unique part of the Netherlands. Here, new land was created in the sea to expand the Port of Rotterdam — the largest port in Europe. The Maasvlakte is an impressive mix of high-tech industry, container terminals, nature and beach.

You can see for yourself how modern ships are loaded and unloaded in the world’s largest container ports. There is also plenty of space for recreation. On the Maasvlakte beach, you can walk, cycle, surf or just relax by the sea.

At FutureLand, the visitor centre of the Maasvlakte, you can learn everything about the construction, technology and future of the port. Boat trips and guided tours are also available.

The Maasvlakte is the place where industry, innovation and nature come together. A fascinating day out for young and old.
