Utrecht Things to Do Tips by deeper_blue

The Dom Church Dom church and tower Review

The Dom church is located at the opposite end of the centre from the train station in the old town. You can see the church from almost every part of the city. Listen for the musical chime on the hour. The old town has old style cobbled streets and delightful architecture.

Canals and streets Old architecture Review

Utrecht can be easily negotiated on foot. There are lots of walks clearly signposted in Utrecht. The canals and old town are very charming and well worth a few hours of your time. There are numerous trees around to add to the ambience, and there is a nice unpretentious atmosphere.
