Younger travelers in particular have good reasons to visit the famous student town - its university was founded in 1636 and is world-renowned for the quality of its studies - with its vibrant life. But Utrecht is not only that, since it has important attractions to see up close.
The medieval city center is quite small and you can explore it on foot, discovering the interesting museums. The main canals that cross Utrecht are the Oudegracht (old canal) and the Nieuwegracht (new canal) and they are equally impressive. You can also explore the city with a 45-minute boat ride and sit in one of the restaurants or cafes, which have tables next to the Oudegracht canal.
It is also worth visiting the Utrecht Cathedral Tower, the tallest in the Netherlands at 112.5 meters high. A visit to the city museum, which is housed in a former medieval monastery, is also a must. Finally, the fairytale De Haar Castle is surrounded by gardens, lakes and a large forest and was built during the 14th century.
