What people say

"Utrecht is a charming and dynamic city in the heart of the Netherlands, known for its rich history, vibrant student life and beautiful canals. The centre of Utrecht is dominated by the majestic Dom Tower, the tallest in the Netherlands, which offers panoramic views of the city. Utrecht's canals, unique for their low piers with terraces at water level, create an intimate and cosy atmosphere. The city seamlessly combines its medieval heritage with a lively cultural scene, with numerous museums, cafés, and festivals, making Utrecht an attractive and diverse destination."
Joop Kiefte
"In the middle of the Netherlands it has everything the country is famous for, especially the huge amount of bikes. The experience starts at and should absolutely include the massive train station and the bordering shopping center that used to be included in the same building but is now disjoint. Get around by bike for a true experience of Dutch life."
