Nicola from Padova feels more European than Rotterdammer. “And that’s why Rotterdam is a good city to live in,” says the 35-year-old from Italy. “Because this is the gateway to Europe!” Not surprisingly, he was introduced to the city through a European project. “I always want to gain new experiences.

He gets to know other Rotterdammers by walking down all the festivals.
