Cultural heritage
Rotterdam Zoo is a lovely, green refuge in the heart of Rotterdam. It first opened its doors in 1857 in a garden by a railway line, and has meanwhile grown into one of Europe’s most beautiful zoos. Rotterdam Zoo was designed by one single architect (Van Ravensteijn) and boasts as many as 21 unique listed buildings, making the zoo an important custodian of Rotterdam’s cultural heritage.
