Rotterdam skyline: the Erasmus Bridge, Euromast and Markthal from above
See the Rotterdam skyline in one view from the Beelen Eye: 57 metres above the Maas at ZUIDYARD in the south of the city, with the Erasmus Bridge, the Euromast and the city centre across the water.
The Rotterdam skyline from the Maashaven
The Beelen Eye stands on the Maashaven in the south of Rotterdam, across the Maas from the centre. So you look over the water to the city, the bridges and the buildings that shape the Rotterdam skyline.
From the enclosed panoramic cabins you look out 360 degrees, 57 metres above the Maas. Clear and far-reaching by day, full of light in the evening.

Among the sights when you view the Rotterdam skyline from the Beelen Eye:
- The Erasmus Bridge, Rotterdam’s best-known bridge.
- The Euromast, 185 metres tall, on the other side of the Maas.

- Directly below the wheel, the Maashaven with its port cranes, quays and the metro bridge.
