Utrecht Travel Guide

 35 Reviews  We did this once with the company i worked for. I must admit i thought it would be horrible but even though i already lived in Utrecht for about 5 years then, i saw this whole new Utrecht. It is so strange to see a city from the waterline (other than the terraces). I loved it. And i will do it again...

The museum was established in 1927 and was initially located in one of the main buildings of the Nederlandse Spoorwegen (Dutch National Railroad) in Utrecht. In 1941, during the war the museum is housed in a wing... 

 9 Reviews  It was quite some time ago when I visited the museum, but I have to say that all aspects are impressive. The range of automatic instruments from small musical boxes to huge dance organs, the way the musium is laid out in themed rooms and the linguistic versatility of the young guides. There is a... 

 16 Reviews  The best thing to do is wander around Utrecht. You can see the Dom Tower from every angle in the city. The Domtoren is the tallest church tower in the Netherlands, at 112.5 metres (368 feet) in height. A cathedral was started between the church and tower, but unfinished due to lack of funds and... 

 9 Reviews  Kastel de Haar is one of hollands small secrets. i had been living in holland for around 6 months when i received a "gift card" from work for christmas where i could choose an activity or item for a certain value. A Day trip to the castle was what i chose. Having always been interested in history...

 1 Review and 39 Opinions  The Court Hotel -as its name suggest- is housed in the former Utrecht Court building. The hotel is a... 

 2 Reviews  Very clasys but accesible restaurant in an old city castle (dated back to the 13th century). They make their own beer and they serve great sandwiches. The bar/dining room is the old hall where the knights used to get together. The beams here are said to be over 800 years old. What i also very... 

 4 Reviews  Whilst the banks of the Oudegracht (Old Canal) are lined with atmospheric cafes and restaurants on the former waterside wharves and warehouses the Nieuwgracht is a more traditionally-built canal whose banks abut onto the city's streets. There are however plenty of public benches and seating areas...

Having acquired a large number of loans from other museums world-wide, the museum hosts a spectacular collection... 

 5 Reviews  This castle is build in the late 19th century, it replaced a old former castle. In the grounds used to be a village, but it has been rebuild, and the village, called Haarzuilen is a nice little one. There is a café there, where you can have lunch. The grounds are great too, but be awere, you have to... 

 3 Reviews  Just a tip, there are a few operators who can give you a great time if you try one of those "party boats" you got to be with at least a few people, but then in summer you will have a great time on such a boat. I mean not the normal tour boats, but the boats the Dutch take when the celebrate... 

 6 Reviews  Utrecht has streets full of quite trendy little shops - definitely worth having a wander if you are looking for something special... but postcards are somewhat hard to find! I asked an assistant for postcards in a shop where I thought they might have them and she replied quite... 

 9 Reviews  I asked the nice Utrechtian girl that conducted us on the guided tour of the "dom" how many times she climbed those many hundreds of steps every day... she said about 2 or 3, which means more steps than some people climb on their entire lifetime. On the top there's a bell, which had to ring while we...
