Utrecht: The Pearl of Europe

Let me introduce you to Utrecht - a city of picturesque double canals, cozy cafes and carefree students whizzing by on bicycles! A city on whose land the Roman legionaries marched, and in whose land it is still possible to find a Roman treasure. The city is an outpost of Christianity in the Low Lands. The city, from every point of which you will see the famous House Tower, is the highest in the Netherlands. All of this is famous for Utrecht. And also with its special cheerful atmosphere that surrounds you while walking along the millennial Old Canal. Here you will feel that old Utrecht is still so young at heart!

During the tour we will walk through the old streets and squares, which still remember the Romans, Vikings, bishops and witches. I will tell you about how they lived, believed and loved in Utrecht. About Romeo and Juliet. Why was it customary to kiss on the bridge? About what jokes were made, and how it ended. You will learn why they built castles in the city, and what they have become over time. I will introduce you to the history of St. Martin, whose colors are depicted on the city coat of arms. Over a glass of local beer, we’ll talk about urban legends. About the rich history of Utrecht and how the city lives today.

I am sure that after enjoying this city and its unique charm, you will agree with the poet who called Utrecht “the pearl of Europe”.

This tour is conveniently combined with an excursion to the castle de Haar, which is located in the vicinity of Utrecht.
