19 unmissable things to do in Utrecht in 2024

Take your pick! 👇

Vedika Luthra

The Dom Tower, the Miffy museum, and the inner city’s sunken canals — there are tons of things to do in Utrecht.

With beautiful old houses, bridges, and canals that fill the city, Utrecht is often regarded as a little Amsterdam (just without as many tourists ).

Located in the very centre of the Netherlands, the city is dynamic, historic, and full of life. If you haven’t visited before, Utrecht should definitely be at the top of your to-do list.

There’s no shortage of interesting things to do and see in this historic city — but, of course, as someone who has lived here for years, I’ve made a list anyway.

Once the religious capital of the Netherlands, this quaint, medieval city radiates around the 13th-century Dom Tower — the tallest church tower in the Netherlands.

photo-aerial-view-of-utrecht-and-the-dom

The impressive 112-metre tower is “the pride of Utrecht”, and it’s a must-see (to be honest, it’s hard not to see it) on your visit to the city.

READ MORE | 11 of the best towers in the Netherlands that you need to visit

It’s also a great thing to do in Utrecht if you’re looking to get an overview of the Netherlands as a whole. I’d recommend going on a clear day. You can actually spot Rotterdam , Amsterdam , and The Hague from the observation platform!

You can also grab a bite to eat at some of the bars on Dom Square if the trip up the tower makes you hungry.

💰 Price: €13.50 for adults, €8.50 for children aged 4 to 12, and free for children under 4 ⏰ Opening hours: Every day from 10 AM until 5 PM 📍 Location: Domplein 9, 3512 JC Utrecht

Get ready for the historical, architectural, and religious hotspot of Utrecht. The St. Martins Cathedral , once the largest church in the Netherlands, used to be connected to the Dom Tower.

utrecht-st-martin-cathedral-areal-view-things-to-do-in-utrecht

But ever since a tornado hit in 1674, the tower has been separate from the church, and this unique feature is part of what makes it a popular tourist attraction.

In the courtyard of the Gothic cathedral, you’ll find the stunning Pandhof garden — a perfect spot for a cup of coffee or a moment of quiet time.

The Domkerk is literally a stone’s throw from the Dom, so if you pay a visit to the area, I’d suggest you take a peek at both.

💰 Price: A grand total of €0 ⏰ Opening hours: 10 AM until 5 PM on Mondays to Fridays, 11 AM until 3:15 PM on Saturdays, 12:30 PM until 5 PM on Sundays 📍 Location: Achter de Dom 1, 3512 JN Utrecht

Ready for a deep dive (quite literally) into history? Or maybe the Dutch weather got to you, and you need an escape from the rain?

While you’re in Dom Square, you should definitely take a trip DOMunder . And yes, if you haven’t noticed yet, a lot of Utrecht’s history revolves around the Dom.

Here, you can explore some of the Netherlands’ best archaeological treasures via multimedia. You’ll get a torch and a scanner that you can use to bring sound messages to life.

This is the perfect activity if you’re interested in Roman and medieval history or if you just need a rain-proof thing to do in Utrecht.

💰 Price: €14 for adults, €10 for children ⏰ Opening hours: 10:30 AM until 5 PM, Monday to Sunday 📍 Location: Domplein 9, 3512 JC Utrecht

Here’s one for music enthusiasts! The Speelklok Museum is located in an old church, the Buurkerk, and is a fun thing to do in Utrecht for travellers of all ages .

On display, you’ll see an assortment of self-playing musical instruments, music boxes, pianolas, organs, and musical clocks. The latter is key to explaining the museum’s name: “musical clock”.

Apart from just the museum, restoration workshops are also offered — which are highly regarded worldwide.

💰 Price: €15.50 for adults, €11.50 for children aged 13 to 17, €8 for children aged 12 to 4, and free for children under 4 ⏰ Opening hours: 10 AM until 5 PM from Tuesday to Sunday 📍 Location: Steenweg 6, 3511 JP Utrecht

What is a trip to the Netherlands without some good ol’ canal action?

The two-level canal system on the Oudegracht is one of the most unique parts of Utrecht, and it’s best explored from the water in a boat or a canoe .

Historically, Utrecht has always been an important trading city, and merchants used the lower level (below street level) of the Oudegracht to unload goods from barges into conveniently located cellars along the canal.

oudegracht-things-to-do-in-utrecht

As the commercial aspect of the city faded, the cellars were left empty.

In the last hundred years or so, these canal cellars have been up-cycled and converted into cafés, restaurants, and shops galore — giving Utrecht a unique and cool feature you won’t find in every other Dutch city.

During the summertime, it’s super gezellig (cosy) to sit by the canal and sip a cold beer after your obligatory boating adventure.

💰 Price: Completely free! ⏰ Opening hours: Whenever you wish 📍 Location: Oudegracht aan de Werf 186, 3511 AL Utrecht

The Oudegracht is more than just a canal; the streets along it also happen to be some of the best places to hang out if you’re looking for things to do in Utrecht.

oudegracht-area-utrecht-city-centre

Not only does it connect to Domplein (the square where the Dom and the St. Martin’s Cathedral are located), but it also houses Utrecht’s main shopping area, which is far more charming than any shopping mall.

READ MORE | The neighbourhoods in Utrecht: bringing you the best places to live in Utrecht

(If a mall is your cup of tea, though, walk a little further off the Oudegracht and towards the train station, where you will find Hoog Catherijne , Utrecht’s answer to glossy indoor shopping.)

Now, if all that retail therapy’s made you hungry, you can also grab a cup of coffee or a drink back on the Oudegracht — and maybe take your pick of deep-fried snacks at the food trucks that stand beside the canal too.

Broodje Mario is my favourite for cheap, delicious sandwiches.

💰 Price: Free as a bee ⏰ Opening hours: You are free to wander at any time 📍 Location: Oudegracht aan de Werf 186, 3511 AL Utrecht

As any experienced tourist knows, good snacks are key to a good vacation. While you’re in the area of the Oudegracht, you should definitely check out Vredenburg Market , which takes place on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

If you’re into food, this is THE thing to do in Utrecht.

bread-for-sale-at-Vredenburg-market-things-to-do-in-utrecht

You can find just about anything here — an array of farm-fresh eggs, produce, and fish, as well as freshly baked treats.

And if you’re looking for Dutch classics (think hella good cheese , gooey warm stroopwafels , and other typically Dutch delicacies ), this is where it’s at.

💰 Price: However much you’re willing to spend ⏰ Opening hours: 9 AM until 5 PM on Wednesdays and Fridays, 8 AM until 5 PM on Saturdays 📍 Location: Vredenburg, 3511 CW Utrecht

If you come to the Netherlands for flowers, you can find Utrecht’s bustling flower market right outside the beautiful Janskerk (St. John’s Church).

janskerkhof-flower-market-in-utrecht

Even if you’re not looking to buy potted gems, the flower market should not be missed — the colours and plants on display are beautiful, and the vibe is great!

And while on the topic of cool markets, the largest and oldest fabric market in the Netherlands, Lapjesmarkt , is only a stone’s throw away from Janskerkhof.

So if you’re looking to buy some cool textiles, or if you’re just interested in a truly unique thing to do in Utrecht, this is the place to go.

💰 Price: Free unless you’re tempted to buy a bouquet ⏰ Opening hours: 8 AM until 5 PM on Saturdays 📍 Location: Neude Janskerkhof en Domplein, 3512 JE Utrecht

As much as I love to complain about the NS , the Dutch railway system is actually pretty darn good.

If you want to learn more about the history of trains in the Netherlands, the Railway Museum should be on your list of things to do in Utrecht.

Railway-Museum-Utrecht-housed-in-the-historic-Maliebaan-Station

The main hall of the station is adorned in 19th-century style, and the museum features old posters, leaflets, carriages, and locomotives, as well as a mechanical ride.

Plus, if you’re looking for things to do with children in Utrecht, this is one for the books.

At the Spoorweg Museum, you’ll also find a moving memorial to the Jews of Utrecht who were murdered during the Second World War .

💰 Price: €19.50 ⏰ Opening hours: 10 AM until 5 PM Tuesday to Sunday 📍 Location: Maliebaanstation 16, 3581 XW Utrecht

Got a bit of a sightseeing overdose? Breathe in, and breathe out in Wilhelminapark — one of Utrecht’s many beautiful green spaces.

The park was officially opened in 1898 and named after Queen Wilhelmina, who became queen that year.

wilhelmina-park-things-to-do-in-utrecht

At the centre of the park is a large pond (or little lake), and the area around the park also features a few cafés, bars, and ice cream shops. It’s the perfect spot for an outing (when the weather is nice).

The park is actually so nice that the surrounding area is considered the bougie district of the city , where houses sell for millions of euros apiece. 🤑

💰 Price: Free ⏰ Opening hours: 6 AM until 10 PM from Monday to Sunday 📍 Location: Wilhelminapark, 3581 NE Utrecht

Have you ever dreamt of walking inside a piece of art? Here’s your chance!

The Rietveld Schröderhuis was built as a private home by Gerrit Rietveld (a renowned furniture designer from Utrecht) in 1924 and now stands as an architectural super-attraction in Utrecht.

photo-rietveld-schroder-house-things-to-doutrecht

The house was designed using the concepts of De Stijl, a Dutch artistic movement from the early 1900s, focused on bold primary colours and geometry. It was used as a private living space until 1985 and functions as a museum today.

Originally, the house was situated on the outskirts of Utrecht — which was one of its main selling points. Today, however, a four-lane motorway and viaduct make up the view from the house.

Nevertheless, you can always see tourists flock to the museum, which is an architectural and art historical gem of a thing to do in Utrecht.

💰 Price: €19 for adults, €10.50 for children aged 13 to 17, €3 for children aged 7 to 12, and free for children under 7 ⏰ Opening hours: 11 AM until 4 PM from Tuesday to Sunday (and 11 AM until 9 PM on Friday) 📍 Location: Prins Hendriklaan 50, 3583 EP Utrecht

There are a lot of things to do in Utrecht, but the province around the city also has some treasures to explore. Why not bring out your inner Dutchie , and go for a bike ride?

The beautiful forest Amelisweerd is not only a great biking area in Utrecht, but it also hides the poorly kept secret of a restaurant, De Veldkeuken .

couple-cycling-in-the-dutch-woods-the-netherlands-things-to-do-in-utrecht

Here you can enjoy a pleasant drink or meal made with ingredients grown in the surrounding area. The restaurant is the perfect bike trip destination, and the bread and cakes are to die for.

In the mood for something sweet? Check out the nearby pancake restaurant, nestled by a canal in the forest.

💰 Price: Yet another free activity! ⏰ Opening hours: 9:30 AM until 9 PM from Tuesday to Saturday, 9:30 until 5:30 on Sunday 📍 Location: Koningslaan 11 A, 3981 HD Bunnik

The Nijntje Museum (or Miffy in English) is another great thing to do with kids in Utrecht.

The quirky cartoon bunny created by Dick Bruna has become quite the symbol of the city, and no visit to Utrecht is complete without a trip here.

Miffy-Museum-Nijntje-things-to-do-in-Utrecht

The museum is a touch-everything experience that appeals to young children, who can crawl, climb, and play around the grounds — making for a fun and interactive experience.

But of course, you can still enjoy it as an adult.

My one tip is to make sure to pre-book, as the museum can be particularly busy during weekends and holidays.

💰 Price: €8 for adults, €8 for children aged 7 to 17, and €12 for children aged 2 to 6 ⏰ Opening hours: 10 AM until 5 PM from Tuesday to Sunday, closed on Monday 📍 Location: Oudegracht 167, 3511 AL Utrecht

Want to travel back in time and add a romantic activity to your list of things to do in Utrecht?

Kasteel de Haar is the grandest and largest castle in the Netherlands, and it’s located just a short hour by train away from the city.

kasteel-de-haar-things-to-do-in-utrecht

Once the holiday home of the Van Zuylen family, who continue to visit for a month every September, the castle is now open to visitors.

In the 1900s, elaborate parties were once thrown at the iconic location, attracting famous guests such as Coco Chanel, Maria Callas, Gregory Peck, Roger Moore, Yves Saint Laurent, Joan Collins, and Brigitte Bardot.

💰 Price: €19 for adults, €12.50 for children aged 4 to 12, and free for children under 4 ⏰ Opening hours: 11 AM until 5 PM, Monday to Sunday 📍 Location: Kasteellaan 1, 3455 RR Utrecht

From yoga sessions to afro-beats, you can enjoy more than just a beverage at this city beach.

Alright, Strand Oog in Al (or SOIA for the locals) isn’t quite Scheveningen — but it’s a perfect place to go in Utrecht during the summer and a pretty decent beach for a city.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by SOIA – Strand Oog In Al (@soia_strandooginal)

SOIA is perfect for grabbing a cold beer, soaking up the sun once the weather is a little warmer (and storm-free), and enjoying the grilling season.

In a country as obsessed with the weather as the Netherlands, it’s only suitable to visit an attraction that lets you make your own weather forecast!

In the 19th century, the observatory in Utrecht was used to gain a better understanding of the composition of the sun and to predict the weather.

Sonnenborgh-observatory-Utrecht-things-to-do

Today, the old building has been transformed into a lovely and unique thing to do on your trip to Utrecht.

Climb the stairs to the star cupolas and use the telescopes to explore the starry skies up close.

Then, go into the domes and observe the planets, before you explore the cannon fixtures on the 400-year-old walls of the observatory. Who’s ready for a starry night?

Dating back to 1639, the gardens were established for medical students at Utrecht University, only three years after the university was founded.

Today, it has been relocated to the Science Park, and it’s both a peaceful and intriguing thing to do in Utrecht.

From March 1 to November 30, the beautiful gardens are open to the public every day.

After a day enjoying the many things to do in Utrecht, you may think the fall of dark brings the end to your adventures. Lucky for you, that’s not the case with Utrecht Lumen !

Instead of calling it for the night, you can embark on a scavenger hunt of light artwork throughout the city and unravel the symbolism of particular buildings and locations.

There are also private tours if you really want to get into the nitty-gritty history of what you see.

Utrecht is the capital city of the Dutch province of Utrecht. The city is centrally located in the Netherlands, at a junction of highways, railways and waterways.

Utrecht is an intimate city with many cultural attractions. The city has three universities and three high schools. Due to the many students in Utrecht, there are many bars and restaurants that keep the city young.

The medieval city center consists of many typical streets and courtyards and many design and vintage stores. The cathedral with the 112 meter high Dom tower rises above the city center. It is because of this tower that Utrecht is also called the ‘Domstad’ (cathedral city). In addition, the ‘werfkelders’ (vaulted cellars), the canals and the green city canal characterise the city.

Planning a trip to Utrecht in the near future? Then, make sure to check out Culture Trip’s guide to the city’s most fascinating, fun and historical attractions, which includes places like the ancient Dom Tower and one of the Netherlands’s largest concert venues, Tivoli Vredenburg.

The dom tower.

The Dom Tower has stood in Utrecht’s city centre since 1143 and was once attached to St. Martin’s Cathedral but has since become a free standing bell tower. It is possible to climb all of the Dom Tower’s steps and several other cities are visible from its highest peak including Amsterdam . 📍 The Dom Tower, Domplein 21, Utrecht , +31 30 236 0010

utrecht tourism exhibition

St. Martin’s Cathedral

This monumental gothic cathedral was completed in the 10th century and was built upon the ruins of a considerably older chapel. The church’s nave was originally attached to the Dom Tower, but collapsed during a huge storm, which tore these these two iconic buildings apart. 📍 St. Martin’s Cathedral, Achter de Dom 1, Utrecht

Rietveld Schröder House

Famed de Stijl member Gerrit Rietveld designed this incredible modernist building whilst working with a local wealthy socialite called Truus Schröder-Schräder in 1924. The house’s living areas were given folding walls and other features which enable occupants to easily change its layout. It is currently protected as an UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its historical and cultural value. 📍 Rietveld Schröder House, Prins Hendriklaan 50, Utrecht , +31 30 236 2310

Utrecht Tourism - Hotel Reservations and tourist attractions

Having been the core of Christianity in the Netherlands ever since the 7th century, nowadays Utrecht is still a significant point of Catholic religion in the world. However, despite its rather stiff image rendered by the historic, the religious and the cultural background, Utrecht is overwhelmingly lively by its world renowned shopping opportunities and sparkling night life enabled by one of the largest indoor shopping centre in Europe ( Hoog Catharijne ) and the plethora of clubs, bars and pubs, respectively.

Short History of Utrecht

Romans were the first historically significant people who inhabited the place of the nowadays Utrecht , as from around 50 BC, in view of establishing a fortification for Roman soldiers. However, their dominion over the place did not last more than 3 centuries, Utrecht being conquered alternately by Franks and Frisians. For about 9 centuries, Utrecht represented the core of Christianity in the Netherlands , and in the 16th century, the city standed out as the birth place of the Dutch Republic, by the Union of Utrecht , reinforced once again in 1713, by the Treaty of Utrecht, which definitely settled the disputes with Spain.

Accommodation in Utrecht

It might be rightfully stated that Utrecht services extremely well its tourists with respect to accommodation . On the one hand, both business and leisure travelers are likely to find that hotels in Utrecht comply with their highest accommodation requirements; on the other hand, any category of tourists, regardless of budget limitations, will be able to say that hotels, hostels , or camping sites and bed & breakfasts do not fall short from the general statement that the city has the ability of dealing with the significant tourist flow.

Eating out in Utrecht

The gastronomic Utrecht is not so far from being rightfully equated with the Dutch cuisine in its entirety, since the city is somehow located in the central part of the Netherlands. By consequence, all that is characteristic of the overall Dutch cuisine is highly likely to be found in Utrecht, such as sundry types of cheese and chocolate. Regional cheeses refer to Gouda, Leidse, Edam, Leerdammer and Beemster. But soused herring should be just as well sampled, along with the types of mayonnaise and the mustard produced in the northern part of the region.

Tourist Attractions and Objectives in Utrecht

The Dome Church and the Dome Tower (the latter being the best preserved part of the former) are the closest thing to the idea of symbol of the city. A special feature of the tower is that it is the tallest landmark of this kind in the entire country, and it also overlooks the whole skyline of Utrecht. There are four other religious settlements, namely, the St. Pieters Church, the St. Paulus Church, the St. Jans Church and the St. Maria Church. The many channels and wharfs the city is replete with are a tourist must-see, along with the more significant museums of Utrecht, that is, the Money Museum, the Aboriginal Art Museum or the Museum of Catholic Church. Hoog Catharijne is a rather modern objective which is worth taking into consideration, since it is one of the largest indoor shopping centers in Europe.

Events and Festivals in Utrecht

From the point of view of cultural events, Utrecht is the second in the Netherlands, next to Amsterdam. Thus, the Early Music Festival, the Spring Dance Festival, the Netherlands Film Festival and the Holland Animation Film Festival, along with the Festival ad Werf are the first coming in mind. However, the eventful calendar of Utrecht is complemented by the Summer Darkness, the Festival of Old Music, the De Beschaving, the International Chamber Music Festival or the Elf Fantasy Fair.

Other Destinations nearby Utrecht

Coveted after for centuries by sundry dynasties and political forces, nowadays Luxembourg is a destination of great impact in terms of both business and leisure tourism. At the same time, Luxembourg is the paradigm of peaks of French and German cultures joining together into a perfect expression.

Capital of the Lorraine region, Metz has always featured an air of otherworldliness as compared to other typical French cities. Metz is also the place where the philosopher Nietzsche served as German solder in the Franco-Prussian War. Interesting enough, some might say, for making a trip to Metz.

What is striking about Strasbourg is this city, on the one hand, is exemplary for what cities of legal and cultural importance should be like. On the other hand, the rigidity that comes with such a feature is evened by the liveliness of the plethora of tourist opportunities, of which one should always focus on the gastronomic experiences Strasbourg makes available.

Crossed by the Moselle River and by the Saar River, Trier is a place of prominent significance as destination in terms of cultural tourism. Yet, the lay-out and the resourcefulness of Trier make available countless tourist opportunities besides sightseeing, such as shopping and, why not, biking. Bettering Amsterdam, for instance, in terms of greenery, The Hague is, as it seems, more than the Legal Capital of the World. One should always take into account sunbathing when planning a stay in The Hague, since the city is not all about the gloominess that comes with its legal statute.

Amsterdam is a city of great cultural importance for the Netherlands, and not only. Yet, Amsterdam is a sparkling city with more or less controversial leisure opportunities arising at each and every corner. In this respect, the capital of the Netherlands is renowned for the possibilities made available by the ill famed and yet inviting red light district and cannabis coffee shops.
