Reviewed By Ike-rangel
My girlfriend and I find that this is the best spa in the area. But we believe the my should raise the prices, at the moment there are a lot of people going and not respecting the rules of silence. The staff seems not to take measures, so instead of feeling relaxed and quiet, it feels crowded and noisy.
The premises are very good and the food is ok. Not the best wine selection though.
2. Kasteel de Haar

This castle was rebuilt to its very impressive stature to include a moat and fully functioning draw Bridges. it is winter and the Gardens are impeccable but we missed the flowers of spring and summer.
The benefit of visiting now, no crowds and our visit seemed like a private tour. The staff is very knowledgeable and eager to answer all questions. This is the castle to visit.

There are lots of cafes, bars and shops of all types (incl. antiques) along the canals, as well as more quiet areas, so there is something for everyone. Mostly it's less crowded than Amsterdam although in the centre it could get quite busy (beware of the cyclists). The old houses along the canals are beautiful. It's definitely a lovely walk.

6. Rietveld Schroder House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 303 reviews
Reviewed By bonsi7 - Bardolino
One-of-a-kind Rietveld house. All of the downstairs rooms have an external door. The panels that closed at the end of the day are fantastic, cutting off part of the external light. A 30 minutes' walk from the center of town should not put you off. Entrance is a bit expensive, but includes the entrance fee to the Central Museum (on the same day). The tour includes an audio guide backed up by a well informed live guide.

There is no better way to see Utrecht other than the Don Tower. I don’t get visitors from my home country frequently but as soon as someone comes I take him/her there. The Dom Tower has a history spread through several centuries but moreover it has a culture represented through 14 bells and old organ. It allows a great view over Utrecht and when the weather allows it Amsterdam can be seen.
