To determine which city in the Netherlands is below sea level, we'll analyze the elevation data of each city provided in the table.

The table lists the elevations as follows:
- Amsterdam: 2 meters
- Rotterdam: -4 meters
- Utrecht: 1 meter
- Vaalserberg: 322 meters

Sea level is defined as 0 meters. A city is below sea level if its elevation is less than 0 meters.

Let's check each city:
- Amsterdam has an elevation of 2 meters, which is above sea level.
- Rotterdam has an elevation of -4 meters, which is below sea level.
- Utrecht has an elevation of 1 meter, which is above sea level.
- Vaalserberg has an elevation of 322 meters, which is well above sea level.

Based on the data, Rotterdam is the only city with an elevation below sea level.

Therefore, the city in the Netherlands that is below sea level is:
Rotterdam.
