Questa selezione presenta la Chiesa di San Lorenzo del XV secolo, l'unico resto medievale della città, insieme a monumenti moderni come il Markthal con il suo enorme soffitto digitale e l'imponente Biblioteca Centrale con i suoi tubi gialli. Il patrimonio marittimo è messo in risalto attraverso il Museo del Porto e il memoriale De Boeg, mentre lo Spido offre tour in barca dell'immenso porto. Dalla scultura in bronzo 'Città Distrutta' al centro sociale del Café De Witte Aap, questi siti mostrano l'evoluzione architettonica e l'identità marittima della città.
