Parklaan in Scheepvaart kwartier

Tax museum situated at Parklaan. Difference between Rotterdam and Amsterdam: Amsterdam has the Sex nuseum, while Rotterdam has the Tax museum. This more or less reflects the difference between this two cities. (hihi) Luckily the majority of tourists head therefore to Amsterdam.
