Utrecht, rated #6 on Lonely Planet’s list of the ‘World’s Unsung Places,’ is a lively, hospitable place. Built around the centuries-old Dom Tower, the city is branched by many picturesque canals, some with extraordinary wharf cellars that house shops, cafés, restaurants, and bars along the water. Utrecht is one of the Netherlands’ oldest cities, with a compact, medieval centre. At the same time, Utrecht’s student population of 40,000 makes the city a very vibrant place. As CNN put it, “Utrecht beats the old Amsterdam hands-down”.
