QRH is a code associated with Rotterdam, the second-largest city of the Netherlands, and specifically with Rotterdam Centraal, its main railway station. Although it appears as an airport code, it refers to the railway station rather than an airport, used in air-rail travel where train journeys connect with flights; the city has its own Rotterdam The Hague Airport, while the largest international gateway, Amsterdam Schiphol, is around twenty to thirty minutes away by frequent direct train. Rotterdam is a strikingly modern city, largely rebuilt after the Second World War, and home to the largest seaport in Europe. It is known for its bold architecture: the Erasmus Bridge, the cube houses and the great Markthal market hall. Rotterdam Centraal itself is a landmark, with its dramatic angular station hall. The climate is temperate and maritime, with mild summers and cool winters.
