With offices in both Amsterdam and Rotterdam, we know exactly where to find the most exciting spots in the city. From meetings with views over the water to surfing in the heart of the city, Rotterdam has it all. In this blog, we’ll share our top picks for your next incentive trip. The best part? Rotterdam is just 26 minutes by train from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
Not your average taxi ride
Water plays a crucial role in Rotterdam: it's a port city, after all. But did you know that Rotterdam offers several transport options on the water? You can travel between venues by water taxi or waterbus! Perfect for giving your team a unique experience while heading to your next meeting.
From surfing the web to surfing in the city
In addition to water transport, Rotterdam offers various team-building activities on the water. Try surfing in the city on artificial waves or explore Rotterdam on a stand-up paddleboard (SUP). These are locations where sport, fun, and team connection come together in a way you rarely experience in an urban setting. Let your team bond and have a blast. What’s SUP!

Meeting in a city that works and creates
Rotterdam is known as a no-nonsense, hardworking city: raw, always on the move, and full of energy. But beneath its industrial surface lies a city brimming with innovation and creativity. This unique combination is reflected in the meeting venues around the city. From spaces with views over the water to hidden gems in old warehouses, Rotterdam also offers sustainable venues. For example, you can meet in a rooftop garden surrounded by flowers and bees, right in the city center. Perfect for unique, creative, and inspiring brainstorming sessions with your team.
Tasting the flavors of the city
Rotterdam is not only a city of innovation but also a city of flavor. The city offers numerous culinary hotspots that pair perfectly with a business program or as a delightful way to end the day. For instance, you can meet in the Foodhallen: taste the finest dishes from around the world or take a food tour through the iconic ‘Markthal’ and literally walk through a world of cultures, flavors, and scents. Here, you can also try typical Dutch snacks with your team. Food connects, and it’s the perfect opportunity to bond and bring your team together in an informal, enjoyable way.
