You can grab a bite here at the restaurant or stay a night at one of the two luxury suites. But if you’re the adventurous kind, then abseil down the height of the tower. Euromast is the place that promises fun each and every way.
Diergaarde Blijdorp
The zoo was established in 1857, however the bombing during the World War II destroyed it. Thus, a new zoo was rebuilt just at a slight distance from the original location, welcoming the public once again in 1940. The zoo is home to an extensive number of wild species which are kept in large enclosures that are made to resemble their natural habitats. The zoo has been acclaimed time and again for its relentless effort in protecting the endangered species and its successful breeding programs. The red pandas and the young elephants are the favorites of people visiting the zoo. Other than that, there are a number of other exhibits such as Chinese Garden, Asian Swamp, Congo, Crocodile River and Savanna that keep visitors entertained.
