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.

This is something that is easily missed. Situated on the side of the Cathedral, this garden / cloister is beautiful, peaceful and serene. So spend some time here to relax and get back your energy.
