As our trip draws to a close, we choose to spend our last full day in Utrecht.
Similar to Amsterdam but a lot smaller, with fewer bikes and tourists and canals. But still oozing with oodles of charm.
Coffee is first on our list: Black Brew. Great flat white and filter coffee.
We then wander the streets: statues and canals and shops again but lots of variety and too many to visit.
In the centre of town is the Dom Cathedral which has been on this site since 43 AD although they’ve had to rebuild it a number of times. Inside it’s a quiet and contemplative sanctuary that marries a fascinating history with displays of modern art.
Outside again and we continue along the main canal, discovering art where you would least expect it.
And a delicious little lunch of feta & sun-dried tomato quiche and a leg ham roll.
Even this side street with it’s unusual lights is worth a look.
Alas, before we know it our time is done. We will just have to return anon.
