The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Utrecht, Utrecht Province

August 10, 2021 Terina Blouin

This ancient and historic city houses many buildings going back to the early Middle Ages. Until it was overtaken by Amsterdam in the Dutch Golden age, Utrecht was the most important city in the Netherlands. It was and still is the See of the Archbishop of Utrecht, the most important Catholic leader in the Netherlands. The University of Utrecht is the largest in the Netherlands. One of the unique features of the city is the wharf system in its inner canals. Before the city was fully canalized, parts of the Rhine River flowed through the city center. Most prominent of the historic buildings is the Gothic Cathedral of Saint Martin, the construction of which lasted for almost 200 year, beginning in 1254.

One of the few places in The Netherlands you'll find a small mountain, complete with it's own waterfall. Whilst my age'ed Mother In Law began her ascent of the rocky pathway, my 8 year old went dinosaur hunting. Then he took great delight in all the carnivorous plants and noted how close many of them were to the butterfly house. On retrieving the MIL from the North face of 'Mount Utrecht' we spent some time in the forest walk.

Reviewed By Jake23121 - New Jersey, United States

This is a beautiful park to bike or walk outside of the city center. Lots of grass and benches to relax on. It’s a beautiful sight in late April. If you need a break from the city center try coming here.

Bloemenmarkt, Janskerkhof, Utrecht

Reviewed By lovetotravel1992 - Utrecht, The Netherlands

No matter if you visit Utrecht in spring, summer or autumn - do not miss out on this wonderful, amazing flower market! Takes place each Saturday on Janskerkhof. This is so much more original and beautiful than the flowermarkets in Amsterdam. And what you buy here is good quality. That goes especially for the flower bulbs.
