Utrecht is full of bicycles..... they do have special lanes for them, but in the heart of town they appear to multiply and occupy every possible space... the stationary ones are fine, but they are merely lurking, waiting to be ridden by kamikaze cyclists, at breakneck speed, whizzing up on you silently and without warning and passing withing a hair's breadth of your toes.... heaven help you at night time, they dont seem to have any lights and the musical tinkling of a bell disguises the lethal intent of the rider....... They are out to get you!!!! Leave a Comment

Utrecht is well known for its universities. Approximately 60.000 students move around the city by bike, so you're bound to run into a couple when walking. Due to so much beautiful architecture you're expected to look up and admire it all. But do be careful and check before crossing the streets: cyclists are all over the place in this city!

by sandravdp At night you don't want to be in small streets or suburbs. And also: watch out when going to places/restaurants downstairs next to the canals when it snows or freezes. The stairs, pavements and bridges get very slippery then. On the picture: Oude Gracht, here you can find the restaurants downstairs next to the canals. At the station you have to be careful. There are lots of pickpockets here and also the homeless can act very aggressive here. Leave a Comment

 Self-explanatory Really! by johngayton The old city is a pleasure to wander and architecturally stunning. The buildings have varying facades, gabled and otherwise, which are well worth taking in but don't forget to watch your feet too! Leave a Comment

Be advised that Monday is not the best day to visit Utrecht. We were very disappointed to discover that the Music Box to Street Organ Museum and all the other museums, including the Catherijnkerk Museum of Dutch Christianity, are closed on Mondays. Leave a Comment

Don't forget that in Utrecht the shops are only open on the first sunday of the month.. And prevent standing in Utrecht for visitng a very good friend that just had a baby and unable to buy a present. Luckily the central station has some small shops like the Free Record Shop (Cd's, vidoe's and such), Bruna (books), the body shop and some chocolaterie.. i managed. Leave a Comment

 Domtoren by Mique If you decide to walk under the Dom Tower be aware that some city buses use this 'road' as well. So better listen and when all is quite.. walk under the tower.. Leave a Comment

 Typical house in Utrecht by draguza I was so surprised when looking at houses and apartments in Utrecht, most of them do not have curtains and you can practically have a very detailed look of what's going on inside evrybody's flat! Hehehehe, evrything in public!

by nighthawk As in any big city, just be aware of your properties, and don't let anyone disguard you by asking for your attention! Leave a Comment
