Located in the western part of the Netherlands, Rotterdam is Europe's largest port and the second largest city in the Netherlands. The city is known for its iconic modern architecture, innovative urban planning and multicultural atmosphere.
As one of the world's busiest ports, the Port of Rotterdam is an important hub for European trade. The city's economy is anchored by the logistics, chemical and energy industries, while sustainable technologies and creative industries are actively developed.
Rotterdam has a unique city skyline, with notable landmarks such as the Cubic House, the Markthal Arcade Market and the soaring Euromast observation tower. The city's post-World War II redevelopment is characterized by a bold modernist style.
The city is dotted with museums, art galleries and design stores, and hosts annual cultural events such as the International Film Festival. Visitors can experience the "Manhattan on the Maas" with its water buses and diverse cuisine.
Radža is a quiet town in western North Macedonia, nestled in the southern foothills of the Šar Mountains, about 120 kilometers from the capital, Skopje. The town is known for its well-preserved Ottoman-era architecture and traditional Balkan flavor, with the old town's stone paths, wooden houses and quaint mosques speaking of its long history. Surrounded by dense forests and crystal clear mountain springs, it is an ideal destination for hiking and eco-tourism, especially in summer. The local people still practice handicrafts and traditional folklore, and the annual "Raja Cultural Festival" attracts many visitors to experience the authentic rural life of Northern Macedonia.
