    Our tour guide Lucy was charming and helpful. She is very knowledgeable about Utrecht and the Netherlands. Her enthusiasm for her subject is clear, but she is happy to talk about the few less positive aspects too. She seems to be very experienced in delivering this tour, but never appeared to be just going through a routine. Indeed, we got into such interesting discussions that the tour ran over a time a little. The earpieces allowed us to hear her commentary without having to stay too close, and despite the sometimes loud background noise from people around us in the busier areas. Highly recommended for any visitor to Utrecht, to help you get under the skin of this fascinating city.

    What to expect

    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!

    Oudegracht

    <nil>

    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

    Neude

    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 parking lot, 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

    Dom Tower

    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!
