Step by Step
Discover Utrecht, a city where medieval history flows alongside the water. This 1-hour cruise takes you through the maze of canals that make Utrecht a unique destination in Europe, showing you its centuries-old churches, picturesque terraces and riverside parks.
Aboard a modern, air-conditioned boat, you'll learn how the canals were the backbone of commerce and city life for centuries. You'll pass the Spoorwegmuseum - the Railway Museum - and the Sterrenwacht Sonnenborgh, the historic astronomical observatory, while your live guide recounts fascinating anecdotes.
The Domtoren, the tallest Gothic cathedral tower in the Netherlands, rises before you on the way. You'll also enjoy the flexibility to climb at any of the official stops, allowing you to continue exploring on your own after the cruise.
On sunny days, relax the roof panels and windows to feel the Dutch breeze and soak up the medieval atmosphere, while helping yourself to a glass of stroopwafel or a slice of local cheese (not included).
