Discover Portlantis
Welcome to Portlantis, the port’s home.
A place to see and discover. Discovering by yourself or together with others. A place of fun with endless facts and figures. To enjoy your lunch or maybe dinner. To enjoy far vistas from a spectacular point of view. And experience the port like never before.
Discover Portlantis, a truly stimulating day out
You’ll receive a very warm welcome at the port’s ‘home’, on new land the Dutch created that juts into the North Sea. Here at Portlantis, you’ll experience Europe’s most state-of-the-art port in all its facets.
Not just inside, in the interactive and spectacular permanent exhibition. But outside, too, overlooking the ships, plants and container terminals, where you’ll also have a great view of the dunes, the beach and the sea. And where you’ll witness the dynamic nature of the port with your own eyes.
Watch it all happening right in front of you. Let’s face it, how often do you visit an exhibition where you find yourself right in the middle of the main subject?
Discover Portlantis
Your journey of discovery begins on the road.
Portlantis takes you on an exhilarating journey through Rotterdam’s port and industrial zone. Immerse yourself in the interactive exhibition that tells you not just about the port of today, but about tomorrow’s port, too.
Enter the port on a bus tour or take a boat trip past immense seagoing vessels and sprawling container terminals. Undertake a fossil expedition on the beach and enter the landmark building, designed by global architect’s MVRDV. A building formed to follow the nature of the exhibition and that feels like a high-tech engine room. Portlantis is a permanent exhibition, destination and restaurant all in one: an experience for young and old alike.
