Overview

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 centre 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!

Activity itinerary

De Werfkelder (Pass by)
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!
Oudegracht (Pass by)
The former moat Oudegracht (Old Canal) is a 2-km long canal, which crosses the city from north to south. Many bridges cross the canal but Maartensbrug is the bridge that crosses the part of the canal that already existed in Roman times. Dating back to the early 1400s (1404), it is the oldest still existing bridge in Utrecht.
Neude (Pass by)
Until the end of the 15th century, this square was a swampy area. There was a need for land, so the swampy ground was strengthened and raised with sand, stones and debris. From 15th until the 19th centuries the square served was a market square. Executions also took place here. Until the 1990s the square used to be a car park, but now it’s a festival square and there are lots of cafés. Translated the name means “swampy ground”. Ask your guide for some recommendations!
Dom Tower
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Dom Tower is the tallest church tower in the Netherlands. It was part of the Cathedral of Saint Martin, also known as Dom Church, but the cathedral was never fully completed due to lack of money. The tower is located on the spot where the city of Utrecht originated nearly 2,000 years ago. Please note there are many more sights that you'll discover during the walking tour!
