Utrecht

Glide into the effortless charm of Utrecht, the Netherlands’ hidden gem of a city, where the picturesque Oudegracht canal—lined with unique two-level wharf cellars and cozy waterside cafés—creates one of Europe’s most romantic urban waterways, the iconic Dom Tower (the tallest church tower in the country) offers panoramic views over red-tiled rooftops and winding canals from its 465 steps, and the perfectly preserved medieval old town buzzes with lively student energy, hidden courtyards, and the striking Gothic Domkerk cathedral.

Cycle the quiet streets past quirky boutiques and craft-beer bars in the Neude and Twijnstraat areas, explore the Museum Speelklok’s enchanting collection of mechanical musical instruments, relax on the sun-drenched terraces along the canals, or take a boat tour to see the city’s secret gardens and historic wharves from the water—all in a compact, walkable university city that perfectly balances historic beauty, youthful vibrancy, and the warm, welcoming spirit of central Netherlands.

Savor rich appeltaart with whipped cream, fresh stroopwafels, hearty stamppot, and crisp Dutch craft beers amid lively terraces, canal-side picnics, and the unmistakable rhythm of a city that feels both timeless and delightfully alive.

Utrecht isn’t just a destination—it’s the Netherlands’ most charming, canal-laced, and effortlessly cool hidden capital—plan your Utrecht escape today!
