100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Domplein square in Utrecht, The Netherlands @unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If there&#8217;s one landmark you should start your tour of Utrecht in the Netherlands, it&#8217;s Domplein Square. Here you&#8217;ll find a number of the city&#8217;s monuments, and it&#8217;s here that most of the city&#8217;s activity takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the city of Utrecht, the influence of the Romans was very important. In fact, it was one of the largest Roman settlements in history. That is why, on this site, a fortress was formerly located, which served the ancient inhabitants of the place to prevent attacks from the river Rhine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to this Roman influence on the city, the Domplein square is also home to other monuments, such as the Domkerk Cathedral and the Dom Tower. Enjoy a drink in one of the many bars in this enclave, while you admire the majestic architecture of these monuments to see in Utrecht, The Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-st-martin-s-cathedral-or-domkerk-cathedral\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"St-Martins-Cathedral-or-Domkerk-Cathedral\"><\/span>St. Martin&#8217;s Cathedral or Domkerk Cathedral<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What you will see on your trip is not the original cathedral. This is because it was destroyed after a great storm hit the city centuries ago. But without a doubt, the present-day Domkerk Cathedral has nothing to envy the original and is one of the things you have to see in Utrecht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the original building, the cathedral and the tower were in one building, but after the storm and riots that resulted in part of the destruction of the building, the entire central nave was left in ruins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you visit Domkerk Cathedral, don&#8217;t forget to stroll through the Pandhof, the cathedral&#8217;s Gothic-influenced cloister, which has a beautiful garden that invites you to lose yourself in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-academiegebouw-and-the-university-of-utrecht\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Academiegebouw-and-the-University-of-Utrecht\"><\/span><strong>Academiegebouw<\/strong> and the University of Utrecht<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is one thing that characterizes Utrecht&#8217;s leisure activities, it is the influence that university life has on the city. Utrecht is home to some of Holland&#8217;s most important universities. Its festive rhythm is contagious in some of its streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To witness one of the university&#8217;s most iconic buildings, we recommend a visit to the university&#8217;s rectorate (or Academiegebouw to the locals), which has a unique beauty not found in other university buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its fa\u00e7ade is sober and leaves no one indifferent. In front of it is a memorable statue of Jan Van Nasse, the architect of the so-called Union of Utrecht, which was signed on the same spot in 1579. It&#8217;s definitely one of the must-do activities in Utrecht if you&#8217;re a fan of architecture with years of history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-dom-tower\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-Dom-Tower\"><\/span>The Dom Tower<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dom Tower&#8217;s calling card is its height and the impressive bells that adorn its interior. It is the tallest and oldest church tower you will see in the whole of the Netherlands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the most breathtaking views of Utrecht, the best way is to climb to the top of the bell tower, where you can see the entire panoramic view of the city. It&#8217;s an amazing experience, seeing the different monuments, buildings, rooftops and canals that make up Utrecht&#8217;s landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to its 112-metre height, the 13 bells that crown its bell tower are also worth seeing, some of them weighing several tonnes. After climbing all the steps up to the tower&#8217;s viewing platform, you can see them in all their splendour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visit lasts approximately one hour, during which we will be accompanied by a tour guide. The entrance fee is \u20ac11 for adults, and we recommend that you purchase tickets online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-domunder-and-the-roman-origins-of-utrecht\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-DOMunder-and-the-Roman-origins-of-Utrecht\"><\/span>The DOMunder and the Roman origins of Utrecht <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Something that not everyone knows about this city is the influence the Romans had on the land where Utrecht now stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all history enthusiasts, Utrecht has the DOMunder, an archaeological exhibition under the Domplein square that will take you back 2000 years in time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the tour, you will learn about the history of the city. From the time when the <em>castellum Traiectum<\/em> was located on Domplein square to the present day. Prices are \u20ac12.5 per adult. There are different access times from Tuesday to Sunday. So, we recommend adding it to your list of things to see in Utrecht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tour-around-the-canals-of-utrecht-in-the-netherlands\"><span

visiting different cities in the Netherlands is the canals, and Utrecht is certainly no slouch in that respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We suggest that you take advantage of your trip through the city and enjoy a pleasant stroll along the canals. In addition, near these canals there are different places. So, a stop on a terrace for a drink by the canal after having been on the road all day is a unique experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have several ways to see the canals, and one of the most common is by using Utrecht&#8217;s flagship form of transport: the bicycle. Renting a bicycle to admire the city is a common practice and makes the canals a delight to ride along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to see the city and enjoy a unique river trip is to hop on one of the various boats that ply the canals. You&#8217;ll see Utrecht from a totally different perspective, while relaxing on board a dreamy vessel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-around-utrecht\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-around-Utrecht\"><\/span>What to see around Utrecht<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-haarlem\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Haarlem\"><\/span>Haarlem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-attachment-id=\"24905\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/netherlands\/things-to-do-in-utrecht\/attachment\/things-to-see-in-utrecht-in-2-days-haarlem\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Things-to-see-in-Utrecht-in-2-days-Haarlem.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,576\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Things to see in Utrecht in 2 days Haarlem\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Things-to-see-in-Utrecht-in-2-days-Haarlem.jpg?fit=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Things-to-see-in-Utrecht-in-2-days-Haarlem.jpg?fit=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Things-to-see-in-Utrecht-in-2-days-Haarlem.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Things to see in Utrecht in 2 days Haarlem\" class=\"wp-image-24905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Things-to-see-in-Utrecht-in-2-days-Haarlem.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Things-to-see-in-Utrecht-in-2-days-Haarlem.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Things-to-see-in-Utrecht-in-2-days-Haarlem.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Views of Haarlem, in the Netherlands @unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A little more than 20 minutes from Amsterdam is Haarlem, a city with superb cathedrals and other monuments that will enchant any visitor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In its Grote Markt you will find iconic buildings of the city, such as the Stadhuis and St. Bavo&#8217;s Church. Haarlem&#8217;s central market, a charming enclave where you can immerse yourself in the rhythm of the city, is also located in this square, which serves as the nerve centre of Haarlem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as you arrive from Amsterdam, you&#8217;ll be able to witness the beautiful Dutch style that pervades the city, as the fa\u00e7ade of its Central Station is a delight.

It&#8217;s also famous for its <em>coffee shops<\/em> and all the art that adorns the city walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting there from Utrecht is really easy, as you just take a train from Utrecht station, and you&#8217;ll be there in Amsterdam in less than an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-499968f5 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/auth\/signup?&amp;ref=blogpassporter5&amp;utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=things-to-do-in-utrecht&amp;utm_term=register-free\" style=\"background-color:#2a7057\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register for free at passporter<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-see-in-utrecht-in-2-days\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-in-Utrecht-in-2-days\"><\/span>What to see in Utrecht in 2 days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Utrecht is a city you could visit in just 1 day, but if you have more time, you&#8217;ll be able to see all the things you need to see at your leisure.

With prices of <strong>29\u20ac<\/strong> and <strong>55\u20ac<\/strong>&nbsp;per night respectively, the latter has the peculiarity of being a capsule hotel of the kind you&#8217;re used to seeing in Japan.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sites-where-to-eat-in-utrecht\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sites-where-to-eat-in-Utrecht\"><\/span>Sites where to eat in Utrecht<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, we can&#8217;t fail to mention some of the options you have for sampling the local cuisine on your trip to Utrecht.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the highlights is <strong>De Goedheyd<\/strong>, where you can sample French-influenced dishes in a place with exquisite d\u00e9cor and taste. Of course, eating here will set you back around \u20ac45 per person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hofman Utrecht <\/strong>is a great option for Dutch cuisine and other more Mediterranean options.
