Rietveld Schroder House

Reviewed By EmmaE1974 - Utrecht, The Netherlands

Hubby is a huge fan of the architect's furniture and I love modern art so this was always going to be a win for us. Normally visits are in tours of 20 but during covid only 8 people are allowed at a time - 4 people on each floor. It makes for a more personalized experience as you can ask for cupboards to be opened and walls moved. I strongly suggest you ask about the history of the bathroom and to see the bathroom wall be closed. It's fascinating.

Dom Tower

When you visit Utrecht you will notice the Domtoren almost immediately. The 14th century tower is the heart of the old city centre. At 112 metres, it remains the highest church tower in the Netherlands. The Domtoren is open all year round, and the view of Utrecht is worth seeing in every season. The tower can only be visited as part of a guided tour, during which our expert guides will take you on a historical journey. The tour starts in the Tourist Information Centre on Dom Square and takes about an hour. The Domtoren is in need of extensive restoration work on the exterior and the restoration will take about 5 years (2019-2024) The Domtoren is open for visitors as normal. No work will be done on the inside of the tower so you can visit the chapels and belfry. When you come outside on the galleries at 70 meters and 95 meters you will see some scaffolding but the view is unchanged and as impressive as always. And you get the unique opportunity to see the work up close!

A church tower at an altitude of over 100 meters in the center of Utrecht. The tower was adjacent to the church, but today it is separated by a small square. You can take a guided tour of the tower, climb about 480 steps and visit the different floors of the tower. From the top terrace there is a spectacular view of the city of Utrecht. The tour starts at the nearby tourist office. Reservations are recommended.

It's a bit more inside the main plaza and you can't miss it cause it's very beautiful, not as big as the other gate but still amazing

Huis Doorn

Reviewed By Hermes_NL - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Huis Doorn was bought by Kaiser Wilhelm 2 of Germany after he was forced to abdicate and sent in exile in 1920. It is chocful of luxury items which were brought from his palaces in Germany by 59 train cars. Especially also a large collection of gorgeous paintings. He liked the house dor its large grounds where he could chop wood. There are guided tours on the top of the hour by very knowledgeable guides, cost 12 euros per persoon. There is also a museum shop on site and a restaurant in one of the side buildings.

One of the few cities that I've been to in the Netherlands where there are restaurants/bars right down at canal level, where lots of people rent kayaks or small boats. Stunning!
