Excursion M4H Rotterdam

Discover this huge tranformation of the city port or Rotterdam!

Take an excursion through the dynamic M4H area in Rotterdam and discover the developments of this exciting port area. The M4H area, located in Rotterdam West on the border with Schiedam is the epicenter of the city transformation. Here the old port area comes together with a lively mix of young entrepreneurs, creative initiatives and industrial heritage.

What was once the heart of the port of Rotterdam will be transformed in the coming years in such a way that by 2032 we can expect a completely new district where people can live, work, study or enjoy art and culture.

In the meantime, the shift of port activities outside the city offers space for new developments and innovative projects. The M4H area, together with the RDM Campus, forms the Rotterdam Makers District. A space where the manufacturing industry of startups, sustainable entrepreneurs, artists and young makers flourishes.

During the excursion you will get a glimpse into the rich history of the M4H and discover icons such as the HAKA building, the Citrus Auction, the Departures Hall Oranjelijn and the Europoint Towers. The route also takes you past special pioneer locations such as the Floating Farm, the Keilepand and Brutus by Atelier van Lieshout. You will be accompanied by a professional guide from UrbanGuides, who will tell you everything about the history of the early 20th century general cargo port and current developments such as the future new Merwehaven city district for 2,500 new homes.
