What You Will Do
Whereas the NY Times describes Utrecht as a city that deserves more than a pleasant day trip from Amsterdam, a leading Australian news site says the city has the most beautiful canals of Europe.
They are right; with its iconic Dom Tower, churchyards, the old center and its canals, Utrecht is absolutely beautiful. Meet your guide from a multiple award-winning tour operator in the heart of the city and set off on a historical and cultural walking tour.
Learn about the city’s history that started around 2,000 years ago, when Utrecht was part of the northern border of the Roman Empire. Walk through little cobbled streets and churchyards; all leading to what has been for centuries the city’s main artery, the 1.5 mi long old canal Oudegracht.
Discover unique monuments such as church that is transformed into a cafe and the classical city castles along the canal Oudegracht. Naturally, the Dom church that with its dominating tower is Utrecht's pride and joy cannot be skipped!

De Werfkelder
There are over 730 wharf cellars along the canals of Utrecht; storages bordering the wharfs so goods could be stored immediately after unloading ships. As far as known, the oldest wharf dates from 1150, when a merchant dug a tunnel from the basement of his house up to the bank of the canal. In many former cellars are now restaurants, galleries and shops. A great spot to enjoy a drink and some snacks after your walking tour!
