I’m always singing the praises of Utrecht and encouraging people to visit this beautiful, historic, and vibrant city, so it only seems right that I make a handy map of some of the places and things visitors should see. So here’s a map of 18 places in Utrecht that you should see, including museums, sculptures, parks, restaurants (which, of course, includes Vino Veritas), and historic points of interest. It is, by no means, a complete listing and hopefully I’ll be able to add on to it as the spirit moves me. Did I leave out one of your favorite must-see spots in Utrecht? Tell me what you think is a must-see.
Thanks to KLM for doing the technical creation of this map for me, while letting me use my own words and photos. They were kind enough to let me focus on Utrecht, instead of Amsterdam, after I pointed out how quick and easy it is to get to Utrecht from Amsterdam. Fly into Schipol Airport with KLM and hop on one of the many trains to Utrecht. You’ll be here in just half an hour!
This is fantastic! And I will make sure to drop by Vino Veritas when in town in a few weeks!:)
I hope the map is handy for a lot of people, and please do stop by!
This is great! There are a couple of places I haven’t been to yet; for example, the Rietveld-Schroeder house. Good job, Alison!
It’s worth a visit, even if just seen from the outside. For the inside tour, you sign up through the Centraal Museum. It’s over by the Wilhelmina park, which is a nice stop along the way.
We need to get over there! And for sure we will come and find y’all at your enoteca!
Utrecht truly is worth a visit. It’s a charming, beautiful city with a lot going on. And a great wine bar. 😉
Summer time has come! I’ve been twice visiting Utrecht in 94 & 99! Yes so long 15 years ago… greet for you from Indonesian guy!
I hope you get to come back and I hope my map has brought back some good memories. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
It makes me realize that I need to visit Utrecht more. I think I’ve only been there three or four times the whole time I’ve been in the country.
It’s easy to get stuck into a pattern of visiting the same places for work, friends, family, and not really venturing out further. But Utrecht is home to the Dick Bruna house, a favorite with kids, so I’m sure your little girl will soon enjoy a visit.
Hi, nice list of sites to visit. In 2008 i moved to this city and i love it. So as a buurman i’m looking forward to meet you and have a taste of the Italian products. Free tip; maybe you can add the link to the central museum on your recommandation to the RS house. So people know were guided tour must be booked (incluiding where they can get a free rental bike to visit the house)
That’s a good idea. I’ll see what I can do.
