Rotterdam had its centre almost entirely destroyed in the Second World War and chose to be redesigned rather than to imitate what stood before, which left it with a skyline unlike anywhere else in the Netherlands. The city holds Europe's largest port, and buildings such as the cube houses, the Markthal and the Erasmus Bridge draw people interested in architecture. Pegasus, AJet and SunExpress fly direct from Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen and from Kayseri, and the flight from Istanbul takes about 3 hours 35 minutes. The Hague is about half an hour away by train.
