Tour description
Utrecht is one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands and, many locals argue, its most charming: a compact medieval centre wrapped around unique split-level canals whose old wharves now brim with cafés. Crowned by the tallest church tower in the country, it offers all the beauty of Amsterdam with a warmer, more intimate feel. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its treasures.
You will stand beneath the mighty Dom Tower, stroll the one-of-a-kind wharf canals, and wander lanes full of medieval churches and hidden courtyards. Relaxed, historic and delightfully walkable, Utrecht is a city that surprises everyone who visits.
