Overview

Join me on this self-guided GPS audio tour along the canals and alleys that have witnessed the passing of knights, emperors and beguines. We will explore the lesser known northern parts of the old town, the castles; war bunker; poetry on high, stately mansions and small cottages.
Utrecht is located in the center of the country and is easy to get to from anywhere. You can understand the vibrancy of today’s Utrecht more clearly through the layers of its recent and distant past. There are also plenty of places along the way to stop, pull up a chair, order a coffee and watch the world walk, drift or cycle by.
