The city of Rotterdam has been called "The Gateway to Europe," where around 50 percent of the inhabitants come from foreign countries.

Rotterdam is the Netherlands' second largest city and its most diverse.

It's been called "The Gateway to Europe." Around half its residents come from foreign countries.
