This is the TV tower of Rotterdam and there is a restaurant on top of it. But the most amazing is actually to take the rotating elevator on a sunny day to see the city 360° from more than 150m high!
Last but not least: if you are a fan of extreme sensations, you can also try out abseiling from the top of the tower.
