About Utrecht
Utrecht: Canal Wharfs and a Medieval Tower at the Heart of the Netherlands
Utrecht sits at the geographic centre of the Netherlands, 35 km south-east of Amsterdam along the A2. The city's signature feature is the Oudegracht, a double-level canal where 13th-century wharfs now house cafés and wine bars at water level — a layout found nowhere else in the country. The Dom Tower, completed in 1382 at 112 metres, stands as the tallest church tower in the Netherlands and anchors the old city grid.
Where to Stay in Utrecht
Most hotels cluster within walking distance of Utrecht Centraal, one of the busiest rail junctions in the country with direct intercity trains to Amsterdam (26 min), Rotterdam (40 min), and Den Haag (37 min). The Binnenstad (inner city) and the Museumkwartier district, home to the Centraal Museum and the Rietveld Schröderhuis (a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2000), attract design and architecture travellers. Students from Utrecht University, founded in 1636, keep the city active year-round.
