Something somewhat challenging Frankfurt here, though... This and La Haye (Den Haag as they say but I like her French name better) look exciting and promising.

Yes and it is really cool that Rotterdam and Den Haag (The Hague) have grown together, so 2 of Europe's best skylines in the same metro area. !

Euromast:

Euromast is a famous observation tower in the west part of downtown Rotterdam, next to The Park. At a height of 185m to the spire it is the 2nd tallest structure in Rotterdam (after KPN-toren). It was built in 1960.

The stunning view from Euromast:

It is very narrow on the staircase to the upper deck of the observation tower!

There is a restaurant in the tower.

Hold on, something doesn't belong in this latest set.

Your second photo has something in a Scandinavian language (Norwegian? judging by the letters). That can't be from .NL.
