Guide to Utrecht
The 15th Century Domtoren (Dom Tower) is an iconic symbol of Utrecht and dominates the skyline. The ancient city centre spreads outwards from this point encircled by a calming halo of canals and, in typically innovative Dutch style, some of the medieval warehouses here have been repurposed as trendy restaurants, cool apartments, bars and nightclubs. If you love a heady blend of ancient and modern, Utrecht is the place to be.
