Quick stop for architecture lovers If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live in a tilted cube, this is your chance. It’s only €3.50 and located right by the station.

However, it's an easy, low-cost "bucket list" item to check off while exploring Rotterdam.

Interesting architecture on the cubes way of design and living. Was it good to visit and paid euro3.50. first time experiencing to see how the laid out. For the cost was ok. But the whole tour takes less than 10 mins to finish all. So it is up to you to judge if the cost is worth to pay.

The show house offers a fascinating look at how people actually live in these unconventional spaces, and the views from inside are surprisingly charming. Whether you’r...
