About Erasmusbrug

Often called "The Swan" because of its graceful and asymmetrical design, the Erasmusbrug serves as a symbolic representation of the city. The bridge stretches 802 metres and features a striking 139-metre-high pylon that supports the structure, making it one of the most photographed spots in Rotterdam.


Erasmusbrug proudly stands as a symbol of Rotterdam’s innovative spirit and resilience. It plays a crucial role in the city's infrastructure, facilitating traffic and serving as a major route for both pedestrians and cyclists. The bridge is also a popular venue for events, including marathons and fireworks displays, particularly during New Year's Eve. In addition, Erasmusbrug offers panoramic views of the Rotterdam skyline which makes it a must-visit attraction for visitors.
