Utrecht's Absolute Essentials

Utrecht’s cityscape is defined by the 14th-century Dom Tower, the tallest church tower in the Netherlands, and the unique two-level wharf system along the Oudegracht canal. This selection highlights the city's architectural evolution, from the medieval Gothic facades of House Zoudenbalch to the 1924 Rietveld Schröder House, a UNESCO-listed masterpiece of the De Stijl movement. Cultural landmarks include the Museum Speelklok’s collection of self-playing instruments and the historic Seven Alleyways, a well-preserved 19th-century working-class neighborhood.
