Famous Landmarks

Domtoren

The Dom Tower, standing 112 metres tall, is the tallest church tower in the Netherlands and Utrecht's most iconic symbol. Built between 1321 and 1382 in Gothic style, it survived a violent tornado in 1674 that destroyed the nave of the adjacent cathedral. Its 465 steps lead to an exceptional panorama over the city and Dutch countryside.

Oudegracht

The Oudegracht is Utrecht's main canal, unique in the Netherlands for its medieval two-level wharves. The lower level, directly at the waterside, once housed warehouses that are now converted into lively restaurants and terraces. This 2-kilometre canal is the social and culinary heart of the city.

Centraal Museum

The Centraal Museum of Utrecht, founded in 1838, is the oldest municipal museum in the Netherlands. Its collections span art and design from the Middle Ages to the present, with a particular focus on the Utrecht School and the work of Gerrit Rietveld. The famous Rietveld Schröder House, a De Stijl masterpiece, is managed by the museum.
