The cable-stayed structure, thrown across the Meuse River, connects the northern and southern parts of the city. The bridge was erected in 1996 by the architect B. van Berkel, the opening took place in the presence of the Queen. The bridge was nicknamed "The Swan" because of the unusual curved design of the main support tower. The building was named after Erasmus of Rotterdam, a humanist, philosopher and writer.

Erasmusbrug, Rotterdam

The swan of rotterdam. Beautiful and stylish. An icon of ROTTERDAM in the truest sense. Best way to experience de Maas river. A stroll on the bridge anytime of the day is amazing. Can board water taxi or visit the maritime museum.

Beautiful bride with a diamond pathway. When it’s sunny it looks very trippy from all the sparkles. The view on Rotterdam from the bridge is very nice. There are ways for bikes, cars and pedestrians.

Erasmus Bridge is a wonderful sight as you approach it. It has the elegance of a swan. While in the area it is well worth taking a water taxi to visit the Rotterdam port, a city in itself.

Quite crowded during peak hours. Constructed to facilitate the orchestration of traffic flows, the bridge design is inspired by, and in turn reflects, the industrial character of Rotterdam, adding to the narrative of the city.

The iconic modern bridge in Rotterdam. Which is also know as the Swan due to its unique shape. So beautiful at night when lights are switched on.

Interesting bridge to walk across. Some people obviously use the bridge to show their love and devotion, by putting a padlock on the handrail supports, then throwing the keys into the river.

Fantastic architecture! A testament to the ingeniosity of the Dutch especially at the time of their post-war reconstruction of Rotterdam in a more modern style versus a return to the old look. The bridge itself is a work of modern art.
