Rotterdam is the second-largest city in the Netherlands. The Rotterdam–The Hague metropolitan area is the most populous in the country, with a population of approximately 2.4 million. Rotterdam is home to many of the tallest skyscrapers in the Netherlands, with over 350 completed high-rises, including 27 buildings greater than a height of 100 metres (328 feet), seven of which are taller than 150 m (492 ft) as of 2026. Rotterdam's skyline is one of the largest in the European Union; it has the largest skyline in the Netherlands and in the Low Countries as a whole. Its tallest building is the 215 m (705 ft), 59-storey Zalmhaven, a residential skyscraper completed in 2021.

Rotterdam is famous for its high-rise character, and the prevalence of tall buildings has lended it the nickname of "Manhattan on the Meuse", in reference to the island of Manhattan in New York City, and the river, Nieuwe Maas, that runs through the centre of Rotterdam. The history of high-rises in Rotterdam dates back to 1897 with the completion of the "Witte Huis", at the time the tallest skyscraper in Europe. Following heavy aerial bombardment in World War II, the city mainly incorporated modernist architecture during rebuilding.

While some high-rises were built during the 1960s to 1980s, it was in the 1990s that Rotterdam increasingly embraced skyscraper development, including for residential and mixed-use purposes. This has continued into the 21st century, with the city almost tripling the number of buildings above 100 m (328 ft), from nine in 2000 to 26 in 2025. The Rise and Codrico projects, currently under planning, would surpass the height of Zalmhaven if they came into fruition. Together with The Hague and smaller cities, the Rotterdam–The Hague metropolitan area has over 30 skyscrapers taller than 100 m (328 ft), making it one of the metropolitan areas with the most skyscrapers in Europe.

Most of Rotterdam's high-rises are located within or near the city centre, on both sides of the Nieuwe Maas. On the north, skyscrapers can be found in Stadsdriehoek, and surrounding the Rotterdam Centraal train station further north. To the south of the river, the Kop van Zuid neighbourhood is an artificial peninsula, known for distinctive skyscrapers such as De Rotterdam and New Orleans. Within the Nieuwe Maas is the island of Noordereiland, which lacks any tall buildings and maintains its mid-rise identity. Crossing the river is the Erasmus Bridge, whose angular profile rises 139 m (456 ft) above the river, making it a notable feature on the skyline.
