This live stream follows the Erasmus Bridge, the white cable-stayed crossing over the Nieuwe Maas that has become one of Rotterdam's best-known landmarks. It is a useful window onto the city's river traffic and skyline. Check the live view, local time and forecast before you decide when to look.
About the Erasmus Bridge
Rotterdam sits on the Nieuwe Maas in the Netherlands' South Holland province, a low-lying delta city shaped by its port, one of the largest in Europe. The Erasmus Bridge, opened in 1996, is nicknamed the Swan for its single tall pylon and sweeping cables. It links the city centre with the Kop van Zuid district, where modern towers have replaced former docklands. The surrounding area is flat, open and strongly influenced by wind and water.
What to watch and when
The stream is labelled as an other-category view, so it captures the bridge and the river as they appear from its position. Depending on the view, you may see ferries, tugboats and container barges moving along the Maas, traffic crossing the deck, and the lit towers of the city after dark. Daylight shows the river and sky clearly, while early evening often brings the most dramatic light on the white structure.
Practical information
Rotterdam has a temperate maritime climate, with mild summers, cool winters and rain possible in any season, so a light jacket is sensible year-round. Spring and early autumn are pleasant for walking the riverside. Nearby on VizCams you can open the Rijnhaven development view, the KPN LED wall camera on the same bridge area, and the Rotterdam Axis Experience Center view in Capelle aan den IJssel.
