What to expect

Explore the city of Utrecht, which keeps ranking among the top five happiest cities in the world. The contours of Roman walls, meter-wide medieval alleyways, and fabulous ivy-covered courtyards are hidden from plain view. Humpbacked bridges and old legends coexist with modern architecture and vibrant student life.

The Dome Cathedral carillon plays a tune from the rock band Radiohead, street art has taken root under medieval vaults and in monastery courtyards, and old ladies dance in a bar that's situated in a church! Not even the canals are ordinary here; they're two-level canals! You'll spot many secret places and see beautiful details

After the tour, you can stop near Utrecht at one of the most impressive castles in the Netherlands, 'De Haar'. Not so long ago, it was owned by the Rothschilds.
