About the Activity
On this self-guided walking tour, you'll wander among medieval canals and soaring church towers in the university town of Utrecht. Utrecht’s scenic canal views, rich cultural heritage and striking architecture make wandering its storied streets an unforgettable experience. It’s also home to over 100 churches, some dating back to the medieval era. On this walking tour, I’ll show you the city’s main sights and a few off the well-trodden tourist path. You’ll also hear about the city’s origins, which date back to the Roman Empire. You'll delve into the enchanting history of the Oude Gracht, Utrecht’s former canal, and learn about the architecture of Utrecht’s library, Bibliotheek Neude. Alongside the Oude Gracht, you’ll stroll past the remnants of the city crane and hear how it was used to load and unload ships’ cargo from the Middle Ages onwards. By the end of this tour, you’ll have a greater appreciation for the city, its rich cultural heritage, and lesser-known stories.1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes
