Utrecht put its cafes a floor below street level, in the old wharf cellars along the Oudegracht, and its cathedral tower is the tallest in the country. Below are the 4 bookings worth making: the canal cruise past the wharves, the Dom Tower climb, the Roman foundations under the square, and the castle a short ride out of town.
Cruise Utrecht on the Oudegracht canal with audio in 8 languages, hitting the Dom Tower from the water for about $22.
“It was a good informative ride I went mid day and was the only one on the boat”
Visit De Haar Castle near Utrecht, explore opulent rooms and fairytale towers, then relax in 17 acres of rose and Roman gardens.
“The castle and its surrounding views are amazing . Lush gardens and well maintained castle with lot of information. Feels like a fairy tail. However getting a transport back to the nearest station was a nightmare after 3:30 pm , the last city bus was supposed to pick us up at 5:15 pm . However they stopped the service at 4 pm leaving us all stranded at castle . We had to hike for 40 mins to nearest station”
Utrecht’s DOMunder sends you underground under Domplein with a guide and torch audio, tracing 2,000 years from Romans to 1674.
“Fun and instructive interactive tour. The concept of exploring the ruins with a flashlight and getting information about what you are viewing is interesting and works really well. We really enjoyed discovering the underground.”
Climb Utrecht’s 700-year-old Dom Tower with a guide, take a 112m view, and learn the stories behind the 465 steps.
“Great experience going up to the top of the tower. The view is worth it! You need to be reasonably fit as there are 400 plus steps! You stop along the way at certain floors so it’s manageable. The top stairs are quite confined so beware if you’re claustrophobic. Great guide who was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed it.”
