🕐 Local time

Utrecht is a compact medieval gem 25 minutes from Amsterdam and one of the youngest cities in the Netherlands thanks to its huge university. The two-level wharves of the Oudegracht canal with waterside cellar cafés, the Dom Tower and a warm, intimate queer scene. Utrecht Pride, with its boat parade along the canals, is the country's third-largest.
