Utrecht is a central Dutch city with a long history. It's hard not to fall in love with Utrecht, one of the Netherlands' oldest urban centres and for centuries its religious heart. Now a vibrant university city, the compact medieval core radiates out from the iconic 15th-century Domtoren, ringed by a loop of very pretty tree-lined canals. Their central sections have distinctive double-level sides inset with what were once medieval warehouses – many now forming fascinating venues to eat, drink, dance or sleep, with terrace-walkways that extend right to the waterside. The brilliant cafe culture goes well beyond the canals – Utrecht's vibrant concert schedules are a big draw and, if the budget stretches, it's worth luxuriating in one of numerous historic mansions that have been turned into indulgent boutique hotels.
The history of the city goes back to 47 AD when the Roman emperor Claudius ordered his general Corbulo to build a defensive line along the river Rhine which was the northern most border of the empire. One of the strongholds (or Castella) along the river was built at a crossing in the river and was called Traiectum (which means crossingplace). In the local language this became Trecht, Uut-Trecht (lower-Trecht) and later Utrecht. On the place where once the castellum stood now stands the Domchurch built in the 13th century.
Walking is the easiest way to travel in the city of Utrecht. The centre is very compact compared to the other large Dutch cities, with almost all points of interest being within walking distance to each other (the only major exception being the Rietveld-Schröder house). To use the public transportation in the Netherlands, it is recommended to buy an OV-chipcard. There is no separate OV-chipkaart for tourists. As a tourist you will purchase an anonymous OV-chipkaart or a disposable OV-chipkaart. You will purchase either card at the counter for a public transport company, the device at the station, at a newsagent or at a supermarket. The OV chipcard is valid for bus, train and tram and works like a debit card that you must first charge with an amount.
The city of Utrecht is subdivided into 10 city quarters, all of which have their own neighbourhood council and service centre for civil affairs.

Utrecht's cityscape is dominated by the Dom Tower, the tallest belfry in the Netherlands and originally part of the Cathedral of Saint Martin. An ongoing debate is over whether any building in or near the centre of town should surpass the Dom Tower in height (112 m (367 ft)). Nevertheless, some tall buildings are now being constructed that will become part of the skyline of Utrecht.
Another landmark is the old centre and the canal structure in the inner city. The Oudegracht is a curved canal, partly following the ancient main branch of the Rhine. It is lined with the unique wharf-basement structures that create a two-level street along the canals. Due to the past importance of Utrecht as a religious centre, several monumental churches were erected, many of which have survived. Most prominent is the Dom Church. Other notable churches include the romanesque St Peter's and St John's churches; the gothic churches of St James and St Nicholas; and the Buurkerk, now converted into a museum for automatically playing musical instruments.
Utrecht's Centraal Museum focuses on local art, fashion and history. Mechanical musical instruments are on show at the Speelklok. TivoliVredenburg is a modern music venue with 5 separate auditoriums. The 1924 Rietveld Schroder House exhibits the De Stijl movement's trademark primary colors and asymmetrical, blocky forms. The split-level promenade beside the Oudegracht canal has cafes and shops within former wharf buildings. Canal tours can be made by bicycle, kayak or motor boat. Just outside town, Kasteel de Haar is a fairy-tale castle in a landscaped park.

The Netherlands has a huge array of castles, dotted around the country. We have listed five of our favourites for you to pay a visit.
Located only five kilometers from the beach, and surrounded by a thick forest, Kasteel de Wittenburg is a tranquil haven near the bustling city of The Hague. You are able to stay in their luxury chambers, that will make you feel like a king of past times.
Landgoed Rhederoord is the best kept secret of National Park “De Hoge Veluwe”. They offer genuine hospitality, like you would expect from a authentic estate. To top it all off, you will be able to experience fine dining with local, high quality dishes.
Castle Oud-Poelgeest is over 700 years old, and a stone’s throw away from the city of Leiden.
Previous occupants shaped the castle’s identity bit by bit, like professor Boerhaave. He planted peculiar trees and crops around the property. The rich history of the castle make it such a special place to visit.
StayOkay Domburg is a hostel in a rather unique place. This beautiful castle-hostel is located right next to the dunes and a 5-minute walk away from the beach. From the hostel, you can make beautiful cycle or hiking trips along the coast of Zeeland.
Estate Groot Warnsborn is the ideal place to have a luxurious stay and a culinary dinner.

DE HAAR CASTLE IN UTRECHT ???????? | THE LARGEST CASTLE IN THE NETHERLANDS
Castle De Haar may look Medieval, but was actually built in the early twentieth century. The famous Dutch architect Pierre Cuypers built it between 1892 and 1912 on the ruins of the old, derelict castle that stood there, on commission from Baron Etienne van Zuylen van Nijevelt. In the 60s, it became a place where the Van Zuylen van Nijevelt family received the international jet set, from Brigitte Bardot and Coco Chanel to Maria Callas and Roger Moore. A visit to Castle De Haar feels like a trip back in time to the glory days of the twentieth century.
