Free pop-up concert on the stairs of the building 🎻🎼

Lucky us, luck you: Sinfonia Rotterdam, also known as Rotterdam's dynamic chamber orchestra, is hopping by WTC Rotterdam for a pop-up concert!

This Thursday, from 12 to 2 pm, you'll find the swinging orchestra on the stairs of WTC Rotterdam. They are quite the crowd: a company of 33 musicians. So for sure they will get you dancing, more especially because they will play 3 times 25 minutes.

And the best part: it's all free (and during your well deserved lunchbreak). Doesn't that sound wonderful already?🎤🎶

We have a really nice weekend tip for you 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️

As you know, WTC Rotterdam loves sports. Sports are vital, active, healthy and vibrant. Things we're thriving for.

Upcoming Monday, the 3rd edition of the Tour de France Femmes () will have its Grand Départ in Rotterdam. But maybe the best part is that you can try out the parcours yourself this Sunday!

This means that on Sunday 11 August from 11:00 to 14:00 the parcours is already car-free. Imagine: cycling through a car-free city!

How you do that is entirely up to you as long as you do it rolling!

An overnight stay at Postillion Hotels makes your dream come true 🌙

How about a little adventure in the city? Make Postillion Hotels your home away from home and treat yourself to a little staycation. If you'll ask us, it's worth the view ;-)

Together we create a perfect view for your car

As you may have noticed, the parking garage on the Beursplein got a major upgrade. Look at this, it's shiny, it's modern and it'll also get greener by time. More green in the city means less air pollution and more water storage. It dampens noise nuisance and it cools in warm periods.

A big thanks to the hardworking team. Almost done!

We brought the cup home!

Just kidding! Now that the Spanish team was honored in their home country, the European Championship is officially over. That means that our EK-pool, that has kept us busy for more than a month, is over as well.

Congratulations to Yorick Breukers from Alleima Benelux B.V., the cup is ready for you!

What's next... the Olympics? 😉

Do you want to forget about the unpredictable weather or your workload for a moment? Visit the new exhibition in WTC Art Gallery.

This exhibition celebrates painting with three painters who take the audience into a wonderland of fiction and alienation;
🎨 Arie van Geest uses elements from nature, his French garden, to portray his creatures;
🎨 Eva Krause takes us into her inner world, in which imaginary objects seem to take the place of humans.
🎨 Martijn te Winkel visualizes the elusiveness of music where the canvas forms the physical boundary.

The exhibition is here to visit till 31 August. Let us know what's your favorite work of art!

Lions and lionesses, gather around 🦁⚽

Yesterday's match of Portugal vs Slovenia proved once again: everything is possible (or impossible, if you look at the number of shots on goal by Ronaldo...).

And with the upcoming game of our beloved national team tonight, we like to take a moment for our EK-pool, which is still going strong. Our top player has no less than 3930 points. Will he remain number 1...?

Top 5 today:
1) witte66, 3930 punten, WTC Rotterdam management team
2) YAGB, 3835 punten, Alleima Benelux B.V
3) BepvanMokum, 3695 punten, MS Amlin Marine N.V
4) sakina, 3630 punten, Starr Europe Insurance Limited
5) Ivan, 3440 punten, Printerpro

Remember: nothing is decided until the last minute is played. What do you think the outcome will be tonight?

That's a first!

Yesterday was the very first edition of the Haringparty of WTC Rotterdam. The sun, the vibes, the fish and most especially YOU made it an unforgettable experience.

Thank you! And a special thanks to Brasserie Jules and Catering Erik Vis Enzo. You can check out all the pictures on the Community 🎣

Summer is coming 🌞

There, we said it. Summer is coming.

Today marks the start of the astronomical summer and looking at the weather forecast for next week, it looks - indeed - pretty good.

Finally.

Make it a good one!

No sugar for you, sweetie

Just a photo of yummy farm-fresh ingredients to remind you that the National Sugar Challenge starts today.

Can you manage eating sugar-free for seven days?

Pssst, did you know...? ...
.. That our building has energy label A++? WTC Rotterdam is equipped with all kinds of energy-saving installations and water saving systems. Also thanks to our heat and cold storage systems, facade renovation, solar panels, sedum roofs and many more features we went from energylabel G to A since 2015 - which is extra special because WTC Rotterdam is monumental.

Kind of cool (pun intended), right?

Come and explore the latest exhibition at our Art Gallery.

This exhibition kicks off with the Dutch translation of a Norwegian novel: "Wachtruimte in de Atlantische Oceaan" by Mona Høvring. It features work by Astrid de Pauw, Willem Besselink and Maaike Gottschalk.

The exhibition runs daily, from 9:00 to 19:00, until June 30th
Will you join us on this cultural adventure? 🎨

Ka-ching, 400 euros for the Plastic Soup Foundation!
