BlueCity Rotterdam
BlueCity Rotterdam, from former swimming pool to vibrant ideas hub
In the heart of Rotterdam, on the banks of the Maas River, lies one of the most iconic and innovative event locations in the Netherlands: BlueCity. What was once the tropical swimming paradise Tropicana is now a circular incubator for pioneers, changemakers, and companies that believe in a sustainable future.
With its striking architecture, inspiring atmosphere, and focus on impact and innovation, BlueCity is the place for organizations that want their event to be not only special but also meaningful. And yes — you can still find slides there, but now as a backdrop for brainstorming sessions, plenary presentations, and creative workshops.
What makes BlueCity unique as an event location?
Circular location with character
You literally host your event in a place where residual flows become inspiration. The old wild water rides, wave pool, and former swimming halls are now unique event spaces — raw, creative, and fully dedicated to sustainability.
Space for every type of event
From intimate meetings to interactive corporate events for 300+ people: with spaces like The Dome, The Ballroom, and the wild water ride, BlueCity offers a playful, flexible setting for business impact.
Ideal for teambuilding & awareness
Whether you choose a circular workshop, brainstorming session, or creative challenge — BlueCity invites connection, innovation, and collaboration. And that’s exactly what TotaalBeleving excels at.

Case: “Expeditie Eneco” – a day full of energy at BlueCity
On behalf of BlueCity, we organized an interactive and inspiring event for 200 Eneco employees. The day started with a plenary session in The Ballroom, where participants reflected on their impact and gathered inspiration for the future.
After an extensive lunch buffet, perfect for networking and meeting, the afternoon program kicked off:
Expeditie Robinson — a teambuilding challenge in The Dome (the former wave pool), focusing on teamwork, creative thinking, and collaboration.
Kwallenspel — strategic thinking and communication in a game full of surprises.
Graffiti workshop in the wild water ride — creative expression with a twist.
The result? Connection, fun, and energy — exactly what the team needed.
