Montevideo

Montevideo is a 43-story residential skyscraper located along the Nieuwe Maas river in Rotterdam. Visitors typically visit to view the building's architecture, designed by Francine Houben, and to spot the large 'M' logo on the rooftop, which functions as a weathervane.

Getting There

The tower is located in the Kop van Zuid district. From Rotterdam city centre, you can reach the area via tram or water taxi. The journey generally takes between 10 and 20 minutes depending on the mode of transport used.

Duration of Visit

As this is a residential building viewed primarily from the exterior, allow 15 to 30 minutes to observe the structure and take photographs from the riverfront.

When to Visit

The building is visible from the outside at any time. Daytime is recommended to clearly see the architectural details and the rooftop logo. There are no specific peak seasons for viewing the exterior, though the riverfront area can become busier during summer weekends.
