The tower was originally designed to be 107 meters, but the 85-meter 'Space Tower' mast was added later to regain its status as the city's tallest structure.
The base of the tower features a concrete 'crow's nest' platform that mimics the design of a ship's observation deck.
The Euroscoop lift rotates 360 degrees while ascending to the highest point, utilizing a glass floor for unobstructed downward views.
During the 1960s, the structure was used as a platform for paragliding and high-wire acts to draw public interest.
The two luxury suites, named 'Heaven' and 'Stars,' feature private balconies with views overlooking the Maas River.
On clear days, the visibility range from the observation deck extends to Antwerp, Belgium.
The Euromast is the tallest building in the Netherlands, standing at a height of 185 meters. Completed in 1960 for the Floriade international horticultural exhibition, it features two observation decks and a rotating panoramic lift known as the Euroscoop. The structure includes a brasserie located at 96 meters and two luxury suites situated at the 100-meter level. It is constructed from reinforced concrete with an internal diameter of 9 meters. The original design by architect Hugh Maaskant was 107 meters tall, with the Space Tower extension added in 1970. It serves as a primary landmark for panoramic views of the Rotterdam harbor and city skyline. The building is officially recognized as a protected monument. It remains an active telecommunications tower alongside its tourism functions.
The outdoor observation deck at the 96-meter level provides the best vantage point for photography without window glare.
Book the luxury suites well in advance as they are often fully reserved months ahead.
Check the local weather forecast before visiting, as high-altitude winds can lead to the temporary closure of the outdoor observation deck.
Visit during the early evening to see the city lights transition after sunset.
Avoid visiting during heavy fog or low-cloud cover, as visibility from the observation deck will be completely obstructed.
