Take a tour of Euromast in Rotterdam, Netherlands -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats. A ride up the elevator of the 185 meter Euromast Tower provides views of Rotterdam and the surrounding Netherlands area. It was built from 1958 to 1960, for the Rotterdam Floriade, a celebrated international festival of gardening and flowers held once a decade. Since its creation it has since been initiated into the World Federation of Great Towers. The space tower was added to the structure in 1970 to ensure it continued to be the tallest structure in Rotterdam. The elevator, called the Euroscoop, is equipped with seats and once at the top rotates to provide a incredible panorama of the landscape. Along the height of the tower are a two room hotel, restaurant, gift shop, and observation deck. For the truly daring there are activities such as abseiling and rope sliding that are sure to provide a exhilarating experience.
