In a nutshell

58 Reviews The Domtower is 112 meter high, and more than 600 years old. Between the tower and the church is a square. This is quite unusual, normally the tower is a part of the church. The tower was separated from the church in 1674 when a hurricane destroyed about half the city and a big part of the church....
35 Reviews If you want a nice and comfortable way to view the old city of Utrecht? Take the boattour on the canals. A guide will tell you about the history and buildings. If you like boat trips, there are several options for other excursions. In 2013 the price of the canal tour is € 9,60. New in 2013 is the...
27 Reviews The Catharijneconvent museum displays a collection of Christian art from the Middle Ages until the present. Next to the perminent exhibition there are thematic ones. Admission fee: € 12,00 (adult) Opening hours: Mo: Closed Tu-Fr: 10AM - 5PM Sa-Su: 11AM - 5PM
Museum Van Speelklok tot Pierement
8 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...
8 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...
14 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...
12 Reviews The Maria church was one of the five Roman Churches build in the city of Utrecht in the 11th Century on an initiative of emperor Hendrik IV and bisschop Koenraad. In 1844 the church was demolished; nowadyas only the cloister hallway remains.
3 Reviews and 130 Opinions I love this hotel. It is an old building (from the 1800's) that was originally built by Louis...
1 Review and 76 Opinions My husband had some work to do outside Utrecht and brought me with him. We chose the Mitland after...
4 Reviews Here you'll find a peculiar atmosphere: this Belgian cafe is in an old ex-church! The ceiling is then very high, and the organ is still there along with some statues. You can go for a meal or just a beer. They have a wide assortment of bier, as in the best belgian tradition and the food is also...
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...
7 Reviews At Utrecht Central Station you will find 'Hoog Catharijne'. This place offers a lot of shops. So, if you want to shop here, there is a store for you. The opening hours are: Monday 11.00 - 18.00 hour Tuesday 9.30 - 18.00 hour Wednesday 9.30 - 18.00 hour Thursday 9.30 - 21.00 hour Friday 9.30 -...
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...
Museum Van Speelklok tot Pierement
2 Reviews On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, the National Museum From Musical Clock to Street Organ in Utrecht, the Netherlands, presents the international exhibition ‘Royal Music Machines’. Having acquired a large number of loans from other museums world-wide, the museum hosts a spectacular collection...
2 Reviews The 'MUSEUM KWARTIER' will be a pleasant diiscovery for you! You will find the largest Museums here, morover it is the historic heart of the City of Utrecht, a collection of Monumental buildings, canals and wharfs, courtyards and churches, with the Tower of the DOM (112 meter in height!! 465 steps)...
1 Review Again a picture of the Domkerk. This church is the biggest in the Netherlands. It was seriously damaged by a hurricane a long time ago and now the tower is no loger linked to the rest of the cathedral.
11 Reviews In and around the city Utrecht, there are 8 stone forts (small fortresses) to be found, which symbolize some of the history of the city in the Netherlands. 5 of these forts can be found in the city, 3 are outside, easily accessible by rental car or bicycle (30 minutes). They are: - Fort aan de...
4 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...
11 Reviews The Rune stone at the Domplain at the entrance of the Pandhof was a present of the Denmark for the 300th anniversary of the University of Utrecht in 1936. The stone is a copy of a real stone at the Danish Jelling, a UNESCO heritage.
3 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...
5 Reviews Yet again Oude Gracht, and for good reason. It's got a great selection of restaurants. THE most peaceful place (for me) in the world on a hot summers day. Go for a trip on the water on the canal boat (Rondvaart) for an even more unforgettable experience!

Utrecht is absolutely worth a visit; with the must-see activities like the canals, and the Dom Church. But also a lot of less known attractions like old churches, museums and parks. Learn from...
We did not want to stay in Amsterdam again, but rather somewhere more in the country side. Why we decided on Utrecht, I am not quite able to tell you, but researching it here on VT kind of made up...
Utrecht - superb city to live in and/or to explore
I lived in this city for 6 years and thoroughly enjoyed it. One of the things i have liked most about Utrecht was to be able to sit on the terraces in summer alongside the canals. That is really very...
I have been to Holland / the Netherlands (I'm never sure which is correct) on a number of occasions, and have visited a number of towns and cities. Surprisingly, though, I had only ever passed through...
