During one month in 2008, Rotterdam will be “La City 08”. From 14 June to 12 July the city will focus on its gentle character by presenting a feminine range of dazzling and surprising activities and events. The Euromast, which could be considered the male symbol of Rotterdam, thinks one month is not long enough and puts all venuses in this world in the limelight just that little longer.

Our attention to International Women’s Day
First of all on Saturday 8 March, which is International Women’s Day, all women will receive a discount on the Mastkaart. The standard price of € 16.00 is then reduced to € 8.00 for women only. The Mastkaart gives free admission to the Euromast for a year and, if you have booked a dinner, you can take up a maximum of 10 persons without extra charge.

Two feminine packages at woman-friendly prices!

VENUS IS HER NAME: € 30.00 per venus
Includes a sweet treat at 100 metres, the Shopping Guide, admission to modern art museum Kunsthal, one year’s free admission to the Euromast.
You can book the super feminine package ‘Venus is Her Name’ from April until the end of December.
‘Venus is Her Name’ comprises GoedeMiddag!, a lovely cup of tea with a wonderfully sweet treat at 100 metres from an étagère filled with delicious temptations, a ticket to the Kunsthal and an one year’s free admission to the Euromast and the Shopping Guide, showing you all the hidden jewels of the seaport for you to shop until you drop. You can book this package from Tuesdays to Sundays inclusive. Please note the Kunsthal is closed on Mondays.

CHICK ON A MISSION: € 60.00 per chick
Includes abseiling/roping down from 100 metres, a souvenir of this heroic feat, the Shopping Guide and a three-course dinner at oriental food restaurant Lulu.
You can book this tough package for weekends from May until the end of September. At 100 metres the chick on a mission climbs over the Euromast balustrade to either abseil or rope down (every last Sunday of the month).
With both feet back firmly on the ground, the Shopping Guide will help her discover the best shops in Rotterdam.
After an afternoon of shopping and around six o’clock, it will be high time to meet Lulu, the most irresistible seductress of the area Scheepvaartkwartier. Gentle sounds from the Bambuddah Grove take you from Rotterdam city centre straight into a different mood. Relaxed, curious and full of expectation. Lulu is an oriental restaurant presenting a complete and modern cuisine of the East.

You can book these packages by telephone at the Sales Department, tel. no. (010) 24 11 788. You prefer to combine the package with spending a night in Rotterdam? Then we can tip off Hotel Stroom and Grand Hotel Philadelphia.
