Vijf Werelddelen (Five Continents) is a quay along the Entrepothaven, once a harbour bassin, dug in the nineteenth century on the initiative of the famous Rotterdam businessman and politician Lodewijk Pincoffs. Nowadays the Entrepothaven is in use as a marina (City Marina Rotterdam). The Entrepotgebouw was originally used as a warehouse to store tea, coffee, sugar and spices. Today it's a shopping mall and an apartment complex. It also contains several restaurants. Visible on the horizon: the Maastoren (Meuse Tower) in course of construction.
