We go up the Euromast it is a tower located in Rotterdam, Netherlands. It was built in 1960 for the Floriade international flower exhibition and was initially 101 meters tall. In 1970, a crow’s nest was added to the top, making the tower 185 meters tall. The Euromast is a popular tourist attraction in Rotterdam and offers visitors a panoramic view of the city and its surroundings from its observation deck, which is located at a height of 96 meters. The observation deck features telescopes, a restaurant, and a brasserie. Visitors can also take an elevator to the top of the tower to the crow’s nest, which offers even more stunning views.
In addition to the observation deck, the Euromast also offers a range of activities for visitors, including abseiling, zip-lining, and rope climbing. The tower is also used for events and functions, such as weddings and business meetings.
