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.

The academy building is a University owned building, donated from the city in 1886, It's located in Dom square behind the statue of John Van Nassau. Inside the building there is a courtyard often full of clarinet music and complete with some hideous gargoyles.
Directions: Dom Sqaure
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.
