This ancient and historic city houses many buildings going back to the early Middle Ages.

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.

Hubby is a huge fan of the architect's furniture and I love modern art so this was always going to be a win for us. Normally visits are in tours of 20 but during covid only 8 people are allowed at a time - 4 people on each floor. It makes for a more personalized experience as you can ask for cupboards to be opened and walls moved. I strongly suggest you ask about the history of the bathroom and to see the bathroom wall be closed. It's fascinating.

A little out of the way but a short walk from the big shopping s mall in front of the station - worth going to see for the fun of it and the impressive Dutch C20th brick building.
