Europe’s biggest port, and 180 nationalities around it

Rotterdam runs Europe's largest seaport, supporting over 500,000 jobs across logistics, technology and maritime trade, and the city itself is genuinely international, around 45% of residents are foreign-born, from more than 180 nationalities, with Surinamese, Turkish and Moroccan communities among the largest. English is widely used in business and daily life alongside Dutch, which matters for how a campaign is written here more than in most European cities. High-speed rail puts Amsterdam 40 minutes away and Brussels an hour, so Rotterdam campaigns often sit inside a wider Benelux plan rather than standing entirely alone.
